Amun Ali, from Small Heath in Birmingham, is just ten years of age and has a rare condition known as severe immune deficiency - an illness which has already claimed the life of his four-year-old brother.

A bone marrow transplant is his only hope of recovery but Amun's not only fighting a debilitating condition but also battling against the odds of finding a suitable donor.

Statistically, there's a one in three chance of a white person finding a match, compared to a 1 in 125,000 chance for someone of Asian origin.

Amun Ali has a rare condition known as Severe Immune Deficiency. It is a condition that makes Amun very weak, for example: If Amun were to get a minor infection it could be extremely life threatening. Over the years Amun has been in (H.D.U) High Dependency Unit on many occasions, where minor infections such as chickenpox have got worse and put him in quite a bad state of health.

Amun’s Father Ashgar.

“I am appealing for a donor to come forward, as I have already lost a 4 year old son to this condition. Amun takes powerful steroids, medications and has an infusion every week, where a nurse comes to my house. The doctors have told me that even with this medication, there is still a chance Amun could get an infection and not make it. Having a match for the bone marrow would mean Amun would have a normal life without any medication. Me and my wife and children would also have a normal family life. To find someone with the right bone marrow for Amun would answer my family's prayers. Amun is a happy and bubbly little boy with a ready smile for everyone,”
