Our Go Dive family needs your help. 💙🧡
Alba is one of our junior divers, and her mom, Esther, is our lead conservationist. At only 13, Alba is now searching for a stem cell donor as she continues her fight against leukaemia.
Please read the post below and, if you’re eligible, register as a donor. Sharing this post could also make all the difference. 🧡
🧡 Thank you for supporting our girl. She has a big ocean to continue exploring as soon as she’s healthy 🧡
🧡 Please Register as a Stem Cell Donor 🧡
Today, we learned that Alba's leukaemia is not responding as well as doctors had hoped. She now faces another round of intensive chemotherapy, and the search for a stem cell donor is beginning.
A stem cell transplant could become a vital part of her treatment journey. The challenge is that finding a matching donor can be incredibly difficult.
That's why we're asking for your help.
If you're eligible, please register with DKMS Africa as a stem cell donor. It takes just a few minutes, involving a very simple cheek swab with a cotton bud, which you do at home, but for someone waiting for a match, it could mean everything. Here are the links to all DKMS sites worldwide, as they will search internationally for matches.
