  • About

Join the cause sparked by Lani's mom, Ashleigh, as she shares her daughter's story on Reddit. Lani, a spirited ten-year-old who enjoys swimming, outdoor adventures, and family crafting sessions, has been grappling with a rare immunodeficiency. Amidst regular hospital visits, her medical team has now prescribed a bone marrow transplant as the crucial next step in her treatment journey.

Ashleigh, fuelled by a mother's love, has taken proactive steps behind the scenes, teaming up with DKMS to register potential donors. Her impassioned plea on Reddit, seen HERE, reaches out globally, urging individuals to consider becoming donors and offering hope to those in need, including her daughter.

The reality is, countless individuals like Lani require blood stem cell or bone marrow transplants daily. With family donations viable only about thirty percent of the time, the remaining seventy percent depend on unrelated donors.

As Ashleigh emphasises, "You could be the one to provide Lani with the life-saving match she desperately needs."

Take action today by requesting a kit and returning it to DKMS at no cost. Your simple act could mean the world to someone in need, potentially saving a life.

If you are aged 17-55 and in general good health, then click the button below to become a potential lifesaver.

It costs DKMS £40 to register each potential lifesaver, and give more people with blood cancer or blood disorders a second chance of life.

We rely on the generosity of our supporters to cover this cost, so please donate today.
