Keiton is 7 years old and is suffering from Acute Myeloidblastic Leukaemia (AML). He URGENTLY needs a bone marrow transplant to help save his life!
IF YOUR ODDS OF FINDING 100% MATCH FOR A DONOR WERE 1 IN 100,000 HOW WOULD YOU FEEL?
These are the odds facing little Keiton and many others from ethnic minorities around the world. Keiton is mixed race (white mother and Africa-Caribbean father). The appaling statistics are that a White Northen European has a 1 in 5 chance of finding a match as opposed to an African Caribbean's 1 in a 100,000 chance! These can only be changed if more people of African-Caribbean descent come together and joing the Bone marrow Register as potential donors!
He is now an inpatient at The Royal Marsden in Sutton where he will be having intensive chemotherapy and Radiotherapy before he has his Bone Marrow Transplant, which is the only way to cure him, with-out one he will die!
