Savannah is a 19 month old girl who has been diagnosed with Megakaryocytic Leukemia, a rare and aggressive form of blood cancer.
Savannah and patients like Savannah don’t have a match within their families so they have to rely on the generosity of strangers to consider donating their stem cells to help them fight the disease they’re suffering from.
TOMORROW, MONDAY FEBRUARY 10TH FROM 9AM-1PM IN THE RESIDENCE COMMONS LOBBY, stop by our stem cell drive to learn more about stem cell donation and to add yourself to the Canadian Stem Cell Registry!
