Carolyn needs help.

You can help.

And it is very simple.

April 20, 2008

Dear All,

You may hold the key to Carolyn’s future.

She has been diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia 16 months ago.  After her first treatment of chemotherapy, she was in remission for only a year.  The Leukemia has relapsed, and she will need a bone marrow transplant to survive this time.  It is very very urgent.

Her brother has been tested negative already as a potential donor.  According to her tissue type, anyone can be a possibility, related or unrelated, regardless of blood type.  This is where you can help.

Be a registered donor.  Visit your local bone marrow registry to get yourself tested and registered.  All it takes is a simple blood test to determine your bone marrow profile for matching purposes, and there is no obligation to donate, you always have a choice.  Not only will you be helping Carolyn, but also any one else in the world who needs a bone marrow transplant.

Spread the word.  Tell your friends, family and colleagues.  One simple email can go a long long way.  We have an email template written up, a Facebook group set up along with this website all ready to go for you to spread the word.

Contact us.  Should you have any questions or simply want a quick answer, just contact any one of us.  We will be more than happy to assist you in helping Carolyn any time.

Thanks, and God Bless.

Sincerely,

Patrick Tam (brother)

家宜唯一的弟弟经检测后，证实造血干细胞与姐姐的类型不相符，即时移植告吹。现无耐地转向大家，恳请申出援手。任何人都是潛在的救命人，有幸造血干细胞类型与血源或血形实不相关，这是您能够帮忙之处。

请大家告诉大家。请告诉您的亲朋好友及同事。一封简单的电子邮件，一传十，十传百，凭这无比力量，带给家宜唯一希望，在这人海中，找到合适的造血干细胞移植者，拯救家宜的生命。我们为您准备好一封电子邮件模板及Facebook‭ ‬连接到这个网站，方便您传达此重要信息。
