Ankush Goyal, an Indian-American has been diagnosed with leukemia (Blood Cancer) . He is 27 years old, had just gotten engaged and was on top of the world until January, Friday the 13^th when his diagnosis was confirmed.  He has been in the hospital since then and has received multiple rounds of chemotherapy to kill the cancerous cells.

 

The type of leukemia that Ankush has, Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, is actually in his bone marrow.  His bone marrow is making cancerous white blood cells.  In short, even though the chemo has killed his good and bad white blood cells for now, Ankush needs a bone marrow transplant.

 

Ankush needs you!   He can be saved if he finds a matching SOUTH ASIAN DONOR. It takes “Five” minutes to do a cheek swab to see if you can match him or any other patients waiting for a donor. Anyone between the ages 18 – 60 is qualified to donate and get tested.  Please help by attending the drive and raising awareness.  Give Ankush and many other patients like him get a second chance at life.
