Aspiring Olympian battling leukemia, Seun Adebiyi makes a plea to save his life and others

Seun Adebiyi is a 26 year old Yale Law School graduate who is also training for the 2014 Winter Olympics. In June 2009, he was diagnosed with lymphoma and leukemia and now is in need of a bone marrow transplant. This is his only chance to live. The national bone marrow registry only has 8% of African American donors enlisted and currently there are no matches for him. Seun, together with DKMS, the world's largest bone marrow donor center, are pleading for more individuals to sign-up as donors to help save him and thousands of others.
