blood donors for patients in need
blood donors for patients in need
Mother and elementary school teacher, Lori, is fighting Myelodyplastic Syndrome (MDS)and needs a stem cell donor to return to a healthy, happy life. Katelyn Bedard Bone Marrow Association (KBBMA)was inspired to help Lori and nearly 1,000 other Canadians in need of stem cell transplants. Together with OneMatch Stem Cell and Marrow Network and Canadian Blood Services, they are hosting an event to register new donors.
WHAT In Honour of Lori stem cell donor
registration and blood typing event
WHERE Recreation Centre
WHERE Recreation Centre
242 Talbot Street,
Essex
WHEN Wednesday, June 12, 4pm – 8pm
June 10-16 marks National Blood Donor Week,
and KBBMA alongside OneMatch and Canadian Blood Services are hoping the
community will join them in celebrating by raising
awareness of the importance of becoming a blood and stem cell donor and the
meaning of the Blood Signal. The Blood Signal is a visual icon intended to
connect people to the idea of giving blood, rallying communities to come
together and save lives.
Lori’s MDS diagnosis means that she will need
to rely on blood donations while a search for her matching stem cell donor in
underway.
Stem cells from young and male donors are
optimal for patients like Lori because they can have better post-transplant
results and fewer chances of complications. Patients are most likely to find
their matching donor with someone of similar ethnic background. This is why
more ethnically diverse donors are needed to register with OneMatch to help all
patients in need.
Of more than 340,000 Canadians currently
registered on the network, 75 per cent are Caucasian and only 25 per cent are
from Canada’s many diverse ethnic groups. There is an immediate need for more
donors, especially young men ages 17-35 from various ethnic backgrounds.
OneMatch and Canadian Blood Services are
encouraging young, healthy, ethnically diverse donors to register to help all
patients in need. Blood donors are needed to help patients. Their donations can
be life-saving.
Please
visit Canadian Blood Services online at www.blood.ca or call
1 888 2 DONATE (1-888-236-6283) to book an appointment to donate in honour of Lori.

3 v 3 Tournament - Call
for Registrations
This fun-filled tournament will
appeal to a wide range of age groups and skill levels, with divisions for boys
and girls in age groups U5, U7, U9, U11, U13, U15 and U17 as well as a division
for Men and Women and Co-ed teams. While only 3 from a
team will play at one time, it is recommended that each team have 6 players to
allow for substitution as each team is guaranteed to play a minimum of three 25
minute games.
“We are so excited to build on last
year’s success,” says Rotarian Neil McTavish, committee chair. “Participants
are asked to bring in pledges of a minimum of $25 per player and all funds
raised will support a project of the Rotary Club of Windsor (1918) to build a
school in Upper West Ghana, Africa.”
Dr. Godfrey Bacheyie, local Neonatalist
renowned for his dedicated humanitarian efforts in his homeland of Ghana, will
make a special presentation at the Opening Ceremonies, describing how a new
school will make a tremendous difference in the lives of hundreds of children.
“What makes this tournament so
unique is that it will be global in nature,” McTavish continues. Similar soccer
events will be held in Brazil and Ghana and we hope someday that this World
Soccer Day tournament will become a signature fundraising event for many Rotary
clubs around the world.”
Teams can register online at www.worldsoccerday.com or by calling Neil McTavish at
519-791-7263. Registration deadline is
June 4 and spaces are limited. Teams
will be accepted on a first come, first served basis.
