You could save a life

Around the same time as Ava's transplant, we learned that a lovely family, friends of friends, we're also fighting to save their daughter's life. Margot Martini was just one year old when she was diagnosed with an extremely rare type of Leukaemia. Following a high-profile media campaign and world-wide search to find a suitable stem cell donor, beautiful Margot underwent a transplant. Unfortunately her leukaemia was very aggressive and she tragically passed away, at the age of 2. Despite their devastating loss, the Martini family have continued their selfless campaign to encourage people to sign up as stem cell donors. Yaser, Margot's father, has also been kind enough to share his experience and advice on our forthcoming campaign for MLD newborn screening, so I'd like to return the favour by sharing their link: teammargot.com Please do consider joining the stem cell register. You could save a life.
