Wanted: A stranger to save this boy’s life : "Mrs Lilburne said she was now appealing for more West Australians to register. “We are relying on the goodness of a stranger to offer their bone marrow to save our son’s life,” she said. “Ultimately we might not be able to help Ryan but we might be able to help someone else (who needs a transplant).”"
This boy has leukemia and needs a bone marrow transplant. They do not have a match. He's 15. So how easy is it to register as a bone marrow donor? What does that mean and how is it done? We know how to give blood and we have been reluctant to do that. Do we have an easy way of giving bone marrow? He will not be the only one who is in need of a bone marrow transplant. The article has contact details for Perth if you want to help.
