Desimond

Become a stem cell donor and support AADP Asian American Donor ProgramIn 2009, Desimond was diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Remission took place quickly, but he had to take daily “maintenance chemotherapy”. He’s been battling CML for 9 years now, and after many complications, his doctor started treating his leukemia again. The best chance of curing his leukemia could be a blood stem cell/marrow transplant.

To have a transplant, he’ll need to have a matching donor. Desimond is Filipino, so his match will most likely be Filipino, too. Only 0.4% of stem cell/marrow donors are Filipino, which might make it challenging for him to find one. If you’re between 18-44 years old, register today to help Desimond and other patients like him.  Register in Desimond’s name here https://my.bethematch.org/des
