Be the Match: Help Save My Life and Others in Our Community

leukaemia

Source : stemcelldonors.org.au

My name is Nim Sundaram, I’m 28 and currently undergoing treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukaemia.

It’s a rare blood cancer that needs intensive chemotherapy and a stem cell transplant to cure. Stem cells are special cells found in everybody that have the potential to regenerate important cells in our blood. My cancer and its treatment wipe out my own stem cells, so I need a healthy person’s stem cells to recover.

I was born and raised in Australia, but I am also Sri Lankan. The markers used to check if someone is a stem cell match are passed down through families. This means that my best chance of finding a match will be someone from the same background as me. Right now, there aren’t many people from our community on the stem cell register so finding a match is difficult.

If you are a match, then you have the chance to save my life.
