Emru Townsend has found a bone marrow donor!
This is wonderful news for Emru and his family and I wish them all of the best of luck.
What I’m particularly struck by is how insistent Emru and his sister, Tamu are that people continue to help others who are seeking donors. Their joy is overshadowed by a greater need to help others facing the same situation.
As Tamu has mentioned in a recent Facebook posting, “There are still massive shortages in the donor pool, and this will not change unless we continue to care about it. What we do will only be known at the end of March next year. What do we want to see when we get those numbers? That 100 more people have registered or 1000? 10000?”
Their kindness, generosity and selflessness in helping others is unyielding.
