Blood Drive
Sunday, January 11, 2009
Help 18-month-old Sebastian Moustirats find a bone marrow donor by contribution to a blood drive.
When: January 19th, 10 AM - 3 PM
Where: Yer Wood Center, 90 Fairfield Road, Stamford
What: All that is involved in being tested is a simple cheek swab sample.
Sebastian was diagnosed with a rare immune deficiency syndrome known as Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome (WAS). His only chance of survival is to receive a marrow transplant and that's where you can help by seeing if you are a match for this adorable little guy.
The condition is Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome (WAS) and is characterized by an increased tendency to bleed caused by a reduced number of platelets, recurrent bacterial, viral and fungal infections and eczema of the skin. He is receiving the best care possible at Lucille Packard Children's Hospital at Stanford in Palo Alto, California, but at the moment he does not have a perfect marrow donor match.
