Please register your bone marrow, if eligible.
You can help, no matter where in the world you are!!
Please share and find Tan's match.
**Update on Tan's Health**
Tania has just been advised by her doctor's that she's not able to have any more chemotherapy. Having a bone marrow transplant is now her only lifeline, but she still does not have a Balkan donor match. We knew we didn't have an infinite amount of time but on hearing this news time has become absolutely crucial.
Registering to be a bone marrow donor and actually donating bone marrow are different - registering is just having your tissue type put on the global registry, donating is more involved. In Australia, once registered the chance of becoming a donor are 1 in 1500.
Registering is so simple;
-Australia: www.donateblood.com.au
-USA: https://join.bethematch.org/findtanadonor
-UK: www.dkms.org.uk/en
There is a cure for Tan, we just have to find the one person and it could be you!!
Other exciting news is that 'Find Tan A Donor' now has a webpage with links to updated flyers for Australia, USA & the UK. We are looking for people to help us distribute flyers and organise bone marrow drives in the community.
Download the flyers on the below website and please comment below or get in touch if you can help us in your community. Looking for people to place in cafe's, restaurants, hair dressers, doctor's surgeries, local supermarkets etc. We can create a specific flyer for your country/region if needed.
