Bonus Day on Wednesday, March 13th!

Misha

Thanks to your support, in February we transferred $2000 to bone marrow donor registry in Germany to help Misha N. find a donor. Misha is 14 years old. He is a sweet and caring boy. He lives with his mom and grandparents. Three years ago, the family went through a shock of his leukemia diagnosis. It was sucessfully treated and it stayed in check - until November 2012. Although Misha had no symptoms, control tests discovered a relapse, and now a bone marrow transplant from an unrelated donor is needed to save his life. After chemotherapy, Misha achieved remission. However, he is in a fragile state and a relapse can occur at any time.

On March 13th you can help patients like Misha beat leukemia by supporting our project and earning 30% bonus from GlobalGiving! All donations (less than $1000) will get the bonus, starting at 9 am ET (or 5 pm Moscow time). And the projects that get the most donors or raise the largest amount will get additional $1000 bonuses.

Join us on Wednesday, March 13th, and help more patients get a chance to live!
