Our Patients

Don

Don is 42 years old, a loving husband, and father of a 9 year old daughter and 6 year old son. Don recently relapsed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML), and needs to find a matching donor to help him beat his diagnosis.

Because tissue types are inherited, patients are most likely to match donors of the same ethnic background, which means Don’s match will have to come from another Korean. Of 20 million registered donors in the US, only 0.5% are Korean. Don needs your help.
