YVETTE GATE
BONE MARROW APPEAL
The
need for more volunteers to join the bone marrow register is urgent. Lives are
being lost as suitable donors cannot be found for patients needing a bone marrow
transplant. This crisis affects all, but the need is even greater in the BME
community.
Joining the register involves a 3 step process:
1. Complete a registration form and medical questionnaire
2. Talk to a trained counsellor
3. Give a small blood sample [4ml]

An urgent appeal to the Black community
Yvette Gate has a life-threatening illness called aplastic anaemia, or bone marrow failure. She was the inspiration for this Campaign that was originally started by her parents in the summer of 2005. Yvette lives with her family in Bristol, England.
In August this year Yvette will be thirteen years old, a teenager. But since she became ill in March of 2004 she has not been to school and she is unable to go out like other kids of her age. Every week she has to go to hospital for transfusions of platelets and monthly for red blood. The risk of infection is a great danger to her. Yet in the face of great difficulties she shows great courage.
All medical attempts to treat Yvette's condition have been unsuccessful. Her only hope of recovery now is to find a suitable matching bone marrow donor. But there are not enough black potential donors on the Bone Marrow Register.
But more black and mixed race donors are urgently needed. Can you help? If you are between 18 and 40 years old and in good health? Then please join the Bone Marrow Register. You could be someone's lifesaver. So please do something special - before it's too late.
