    going back 10 years or so....

    I think many people will be a 'possible' match. Am sure you will have to go for a medical first (hopefully locally). I am sure it will be soon, due to the urgency of the requirement.
    Good luck. If it is you, you will feel quite special, as you are one in ?? 100k, 1m.....
  • Just found this thread and signed up. I know it's an old thread but it inspired me so thought it as worth a bump in case it inspired others.

    Saffagal - I hope a match was found for your sister xx

    Hi I recently looked into a story about a South Asian boy who was 6 who needs a donor because he has a rare genetic disorder. Just to highlight there is a shortage of Asians on the list who are the only ones who have a potential of being a match (as with any Asian person needing a donor). So if you are Asian (18-30) or know anyone who might be willing to donate be good to spread the world, because I don't think people are aware.

    The chance of finding a match in these circumstances is a lot lower.

    26 year old female and I've just joined.

    Will most definitely be asking my OH to take a look
  • 25 year old female, terrified of needles and the idea of surgical procedure but just joined as it would be even more terrifying to be someone who needs a match and never gets one, it's worth it if I can save a life.
