I am a 26 year-old recent graduate of the Yale Law School. I am also trying to make history as the first Nigerian delegate to compete in the Winter Olympics, in which I would compete in the sport of skeleton.
In June 2009, I was diagnosed with two rare and aggressive forms of cancer: lymphoblastic lymphoma and stem-cell leukemia.
Most likely, my only chance for survival is a bone marrow transplant, but I am 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.
My goal is to recruit 10,000 new donors with the help of DKMS but I cannot do it alone. I need Your help! Attend our first donor drive and register as a donor!
