” My name is Jenny Wilkinson and I am a member of Wirral Council’s Accountancy Finance Team. I have been diagnosed with Leukaemia and the treatment to help save my life is a Bone Marrow Transplant.
Due to my Chinese background, I was shocked to find out the odds of finding a suitable donor worldwide is 1 in 100,000.
If you are interested or you may know of anyone who maybe interested in being a donor; have parents who are both Chinese in origin and is age 18-40 or 18-49 if you are a blood donor, please call the Anthony Nolan Trust on 0303 303 0303, or visit www.anthonynolan.org.uk. Donating is a simple procedure and does not require surgery.
There will also be a Bone Marrow Awareness Event on Saturday 6 February 2010 at West Kirby Concourse from 9.30am-4pm. A mouth swab will replace the simple blood test for assessment.
Please could you forward this email to anyone you know that would be interested in helping.
Thank you for all your help.
Jenny”
