BLOOD DRIVE & MARROW (¹ÇËè) REGISTRATION

¡°These patients deserve a chance at a normal, happy future and they rely on the kindness of strangers to make that happen.¡±

¡ªDaisy, Isabelle¡¯s Motherª¥

Isabelle is the daughter of Daisy and Saman Mirzaei. In January 2008 Isabelle was diagnosed (Õï¶Ï) with a genetic blood disorder, beta thalassemia. Isabelle¡¯s body is unable to produce healthy red blood cells. As a result, Isabelle has been receiving blood transfusions (ÊäѪ) every 4-6 weeks since she was 11 months old. A lifetime of regular transfusions can lead to serious medical problems. Her only chance at a normal, healthy life is to have a marrow transplant. Isabelle is an only child, so doctors have started a search for an unrelated marrow donor through the Be The Match Registry. The Mirzaei family asks that you consider helping patients like Isabelle by registering to be a marrow donor and give the gift of life, the gift of blood.
