Answering Chloe's wish

Chloe has been diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukaemia for the 2nd time.

As part of her treatment she will need a bone marrow transplant, there is currently no match for her on the bone marrow registry. When friends have asked how they can help, she has one wish: to either be on the bone marrow registrar or donate blood/platelets or both.

Blood is at a critical low right now in Australia and its something Chloe needs on a regular basis.

Finding a bone marrow match is extremely rare, and the more people that are on the registrar the greater the chance people like Chloe will find a match. Not everyone of the registrar donates but it is still good to be on it you could save someones life.

Here are some websites to help you understand this disease and how important being a blood donor and bone marrow registrar is:
