Crawley family continue campaign to sign up more potential stem cell donors after daughter Amilah’s shock diagnosis
The family of ten year old Amilah, led by her mum Mobeen and dad Arfan, are continuing their Amilah Means Hope appeal, encouraging more people to undertake the quick and easy process of signing up as potential stem cell donors -- they’ve teamed up with blood cancer charity DKMS again to organise a second stem cell donor registration event, following the success of the event held at Broadfield Community Centre last month.
This latest stem cell donor registration drive will be held on Sunday 16 February, between 2-8pm at Crawley (Broadfield) Mosque, Broadwood Rise, Crawley RH11 9SE.
DKMS spokesperson Deborah Hyde said: "We'd love as many people as possible, from all walks of life, to come along. If you are aged 17-55 and in general good health you can join the stem cell donor register by completing some simple mouth swabs and answering a few health questions. There are also lots of other ways you can support people with blood cancers or disorders."
