Keiton is 7 years old and is suffering with Acute Myeloidblastic Leukaemia (AML).  He URGENTLY needs a bone marrow transplant to help save his life! 

 

IF YOUR ODDS OF FINDING 100% MATCH FOR A DONOR WERE 1 IN 100,000 HOW WOULD YOU FEEL?

These are the odds facing little Keiton and many others from ethnic minorities around the world.  Keiton is mixed race (white mother and African-Caribbean father).  The appalling statistics are that a White Northern European has a 1 in 4 chance of finding a match as opposed to an African Caribbean’s 1 in a 100, 000 chance!  These can only be changed if more people of African-Caribbean descent come together and join the Bone Marrow Register as potential donors!

YOU COULD SAVE HIS LIFE!  ACT NOW! TOMORROW IS TOO LATE

He is now an inpatient at The Royal Marsden in Sutton where he will be having intensive chemotherapy and Radiotherapy before he has his Bone Marrow Transplant, which is the only way to cure him, with-out one he will die!

We have set up further drive/clinic days for people coming down to give a blood sample to be a potential match for Keiton:

Sunday 1st October, Time 11am till 3pm at the St. Edmunds Catholic Church, 115 Hertford Road, London N9 7EN
Sunday 8th October, Time 1pm till 4pm at the Christian Life Fellowship, The Borough Hall, Royal Hill, London SE10 8RE
Wed 11th October, Time 4pm till 7.30pm at Leopold Primary School Hawkeshead Road, Harlesden, London NW10 9UR
Thu 12th October, Time 5pm till 8pm at Katherine Road Community Centre, 254 Katherine Road Forest Gate E7 8PN

Time is running out for Keiton and the only way to save his life is to go give blood directly to one of the clinic’s so we need people to contact the National Blood Service on 0845 7-711-711 www.blood.co.uk  or the African Caribbean Leukemia Trust on 0208 667 1122  www.aclt.org to find out YOUR nearest blood clinic. Go down and give some blood, PLEASE!

Keiton is truly an amazing boy to be able to go through what he has for the last 3 years and still have a smile on his face, please help us keep that smile alive.

Paris, Keiton’s mum is an incredible woman and single mother, who has been a tower of strength for him and now really needs your help to make her dream come true and watch her much loved son grow up and have a fulfilling life. 

We have the backing of the African Caribbean Leukemia Trust & Anthony Nolan Trust www.anthonynolan.org.uk  02072841234.

YOU can help make this happen!!!!!
