Help Claire Find a Matching Donor

Claire (30), a dedicated mother of two, faced a sudden and life-altering diagnosis after experiencing extreme fatigue, attributing it to the demands of her job. This is until a routine doctor's visit revealed that she has Myelodysplastic Syndrome. Her only chance rests on finding a matching donor.

Doctors initially misdiagnosed Claire with iron deficiency-an incorrect assumption that left her untreated and struggling. Then, in January 2024, while busy editing videos at her desk, Claire experienced a frightening blackout, her first ever. Concerned, she sought medical attention, leading to a hospital stay and a series of tests, including a bone marrow biopsy.

The results were devastating. Claire was diagnosed with a form of Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) and since then, her routine revolves around bi-weekly injections of Eprex and Neupogen to stimulate blood production. These treatments, essential for her survival, often leave her battling nausea and uncertainty.

Reflecting on her journey, Claire shared, "There's no medical cure for MDS. A stem cell transplant is my only chance at life-my only hope rests in finding a matching donor."

Her family, initially taken aback by the sudden change in her health, now rallies around her with unwavering support. The journey hasn't been easy; from one medical procedure to another, Claire remains resilient, her spirit unwavering despite the challenges.

Claire's plea is simple yet urgent: "Help save my life and others like me, we need more people to register as potential stem cell donors. Your registration could mean the difference between life and death."

Register to become a donor and together, we can be the hope Claire needs to continue her journey with strength and courage.
