This page has been set up to raise awareness of Aillidh Christine Kinnaird's search for a matching bone marrow/stem cell donor.
Aillidh (pronounced Ay-lee) is eight years old and has been diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukaemia, which affects only 20% of all those diagnosed with childhood leukaemia.
She is mixed race, half Mexican(Latino) and half Scottish.
She's been in hospital in Glasgow since before Christmas and, at the time of this page being set up (13/01/12), she is partway through her second lot of gruelling chemotherapy.
Aillidh urgently needs a stem cell/bone marrow transplant. Please try and help by registering NOW.

If you are unable to attend any of the ACLT drives and you are willing and able to donate a unit of blood for transfusion purposes, you could also join the British Bone Marrow Registry by becoming a Blood and Bone Marrow donor. You must be aged between 18 and 49 to join their bone marrow register and 17-65 to donate blood. You can join at the same time as your first blood donation by advising the staff, who will take an extra small sample of blood to be tested and your bone marrow tissue type will be added on the British Bone Marrow Register
Anthony Nolan Register Tel no. 0303 303 0303
If you are unable to attend any of the ACLT drives or the NBS blood donation centres you can attend one of the Anthony Nolan bone marrow registration drives. You must be aged between 18 and 40 and generally healthy.
Thank You
