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!

Happy Holidays!
By Marina Ouano | Project Leader
Thank you so much for your support this year!
During 2012 we were able to raise more funds than ever before to help leukemia patients pay for bone marrow donor searches in foreign registries. As you may know, a number of registered bone marrow donors in Russia is too low to allow finding a complete match. In fact, this year the first Russian donor was activated in a database at Pavlov State Medical University in St. Petersburg, while hundreds of patients need transplants annually to have a chance to survive.
Your help made this possible for 17 people - children and adults, men and women.
If you would like to increase an impact of your donation, consider signing up for recurring donations. GlobalGiving will match your first donation (up to $100), and there is a chance to win a bonus if enough of us sign up.
Thank you in advance - and have a wonderful holiday season!
