Let's help Ameilia find a match! Get Swabbed and #savealife !

@StemCellClubCA @CanadasLifeline

[Stem Cell Club @StemCellClubCA]

Meet Ameilia.

Ameilia is a 10-year-old girl who has acute myeloid leukemia. She needs an unrelated stem cell donor to get better, but due to her Indigenous background, she does not have a match.

[Stem Cell Club @StemCellClubCA]

Meet Ollie.

Ollie was diagnosed with anaplastic large cell lymphoma in late 2019. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Ollie was unable to receive stem cells from three perfectly-matched anonymous donors. Instead, he received stem cells from his half-matched sister, Abby.

@awareness_stem @CanadasLifeline Thank you for the update, so happy for Tanner and wishing him the best! Way to go Teemu - a 17 year old lifesaving stem cell hero!

[My Battle with Leukemia @mbwleukemia]

We need to diversify our stem cell registry for people just like 7 year old Tanner! You can make a difference! Get Swabbed and #savealife!

[Get Swabbed Project @get_swabbed]

This is Tanner. He is in need of a life saving stem cell transplant. Only 1.3% of Canadian blood services stem cell donors are indigenous. We need to reach the indigenous community to help save Tanners life! Retweet and click the link in our bio to help us find him a donor ❤️

[My Battle with Leukemia @mbwleukemia]

Did you know Canada falls below international standard target of 80% donor availability. Canadians are passionate about joining the registry but 50% fail to follow through with the donation process. We can do better! @CTVNews

41% of the Canadian population identify as having more than one ethnic origin, yet only 3% of stem cell donors report being of mixed ethnicity.

@ShellShock11C @Cmdr_Hadfield @swabtheworldnow @CanadasLifeline Stem cells only save lives if a recipient's body accepts them. They need to be matched for best recipient survivability. Stem cell matching relies on typing which is highly influenced by ethnic background. See the linked article for more info!

@WendellWard3 @Cmdr_Hadfield @swabtheworldnow @CanadasLifeline Not discrimination, rather a disparity or disadvantage for patients with ethnically diverse backgrounds. Dr. Wong, in the article below, highlights that 80-90% of donors are Caucasian.
