News: South Asian Bone Marrow Needed
I got this in email and thought that it wouldn't hurt to pass on the message...

I am asking everyone who receives this e mail for a favour.. In August 2005, a friend, Bobby Hundal was diagnosed with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML),
a cancer affecting the cells of the bone marrow. Bobby has been undergoing chemotherapy over the last few months since his diagnosis.
Bobby's disease is currently in remission, and his physician has advised that a bone marrow/stem cell transplant is his best hope for ensuring that the cancer does not return.
Antigen type is determined by genetics, so since Bobby is of Punjabi descent his best chance for finding unrelated matches is within the South Asian community. This does not preclude match across ethnic lines, so we need everyone to participate.
What I am asking of you guys is that you send out an e mail to your databases to try and help us in our search for a donor. Bobby has been suporrting alot of our parties for years now - so I was hoping that we could all show him a little support and send out his website to create some awareness and hopefully find him a donor.
The website is www.matchbobby.com
