Bone Marrow Appeal |
|
|
One
match is all it takes! We urge all our subscribers to spread
the word and register as bone marrow donors as our asian society
is very lacking in such donors. Just to re-iterate there is
1 in 100,000 chance of finding a perfect match for
Asian patients compared to 1 in 10 for Caucasian patients.
30% chance of finding a donor within the immediate
family and 70% chance of finding a match from an unrelated
donor.
If you are between the ages of 18 and 40, in good health,
then we URGE you to please come forward and take this wonderful
opportunity to give a GIFT OF LIFE by registering your interest
in becoming a donor. The Anthony Nolan Trust website is at

Old Age - A Presentation In Gujarati
They say, "Old age is
only a state of mind" and I truly believe that. If you

everything as you age - you just make a few adjustments here
and there without thinking that you are too old to enjoy life.
