Layla

When she was 2 years old, Layla was diagnosed with medulloblastoma, the most common type of childhood brain tumor. Her surgeon was able to successfully remove all of the tumor cells, and Layla received chemotherapy and a stem cell transplant of her own cells.
Unfortunately, Layla has suffered from two bone marrow failures, and is still in recovery from her latest stem cell transplant. Although her family is hopeful, they know that if the virus returns and her bone marrow fails again, LayIa will need a stem cell donor to give her a brand new immune system, and her life back.
Ethnicity plays a crucial role in matching patients with donors. Layla is South Asian which means she will most likely match with someone with the same ethnic background. Register today to see if you could be a match for Layla or other patients like her!
