Please let us help save Seun Adebiyi. He needs a bone marrow donor to save his life! Please!

It's easy to sign up for the registry. Simply order a test kit through DKMS Americas. You'll swab your cheek for skin cells and send them in to be tested. Only one out of every 200 volunteers is ever selected to be a donor, and if you are selected, it's a much simpler process than you might think. -- Huffington Post

Click here, fill out the forms and become a bone marrow donor today! Thanks!

Dr D-Welz:

Seun is a 26 year-old recent graduate of the Yale Law School. He is also trying to make history as the first Nigerian delegate to compete in the Winter Olympics, in which we would compete in the sport of skeleton.


In June 2009, he was diagnosed with two rare and aggressive forms of cancer: lymphoblastic lymphoma and stem-cell leukemia.

Most likely, his only chance for survival is a bone marrow transplant, but he is facing grim odds. African-Americans comprise only 8% of the registry, and receive transplants in the US only 17 % of the time. Overall, only three out of ten patients find the match they need for a life-saving transplant.


His goal is to recruit 10,000 new donors with the help of DKMS but he needs our help. Please join me in the bid to save Seun's life. Make a donation today. 100% of money raised will be used for donor testing.


Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!

I wish the guy luck.

Above also provide opportunity for Nigeria Private Hospital to keep 'Black Registry' since we still have the 'original genes' here.

Food for thought

I would have happily sent in my registration form cos he is a nigerian. but the website like many usa websites, believes only in USA.
so why donate for an organisation/people who discriminates,

how much does it really cost for this type of OP? or transplant? prayers will go a long way too. . . .

Bone marrow transplant do not work on that way. Trust me.

There are bigger factors at play.

adventure:

is this a joke or play?? then how much are they going to pay me if mine works?

This is so needed! It will reduce the torment and agony of reading certain low-IQ'd posts.

i pray he gets a match soonest by his grace!

Poster, have you gone for the donor, use yourself as a sample

Where do we go from here?

I heard about this guy on NPR LINK. His story is inspiring, but I couldn't help but get annoyed that he is purposefully pronouncing his name wrong. What the he.ll is Shawn? Pronounce your name correctly, my friend.

Thank for that man.

may God have mercy and quickly provide that which is needed. Couldn't help chuckling at the name mispronunciation though. . . Seun or Shawn, help is on the way.
