Armenian Community In need of Bone Marrow Donor
Submitted by Annabel Tautou on Fri, 08/24/2012 - 05:19
Recently, a case grabbed the eye balls of many, as it was found that
more than 200 Armenians are in need of bone marrow donor. The case was
of Debbi Margosian Chapman, who desperately needs to undergo a stem
cell transplant for his Acute Myeloid Leukemia condition.
Being related to the Armenian community, it would be best to find a
donor from the same. This case led experts to shed many inhibitions
related to stem cells donation. They explained that donor does not
have to pass through any kind of pain and the procedure is similar to
blood donation.
Stem cells are being taken from donor, and blood is given back to him
and after a couple of days, his stem cells also get replenished. A
person aged between 18 and 60 can easily become the donor. Parents of
Chapman are even ready to pay $25,000 to a person, who agrees to given
his stem cells to their child.
A camp is scheduled to be organized at the Armenian Youth Federation
Olympics Track and Field, which is in Newton North High School,
Massachusetts. The free screening camp will be organized from 9 am on
September 2, which falls on Sunday.
