James urgently needs a stem cell donor. Could it be you? A simple swab will help us find out. James is 56 years-old, married to Tina and lives in South-West London, with their children, Isabelle and Tom. He has a rare blood cancer called Myelofibrosis, for which his only chance of successful treatment is with a stem cell transplant from someone with a matching tissue type. Because James is Jewish, a matching donor is far more likely to be Jewish too. James’ family background is mainly Sephardi and part Ashkenazi, with ancestors from Europe, Northern Africa, the Middle East and parts of Asia, and this is particularly an appeal to people of similar ancestry. The only way to find out if you are a match is for you to take a simple test. This just means brushing the inside of your mouth with a cotton bud-like swab. If you’re 17-55, please attend our swabbing event 7-9pm on Thursday 15th June. You can also visit https://www.dkms.org.uk/register-now to order a postal kit. Every swab tested costs £40. If you would like to make a contribution to the testing, no matter how big or small you'll be able to on the night. Hope to see you there. Cranbrook United SynagogueSave a Life
