Thank you for visiting my fundraising page set up on behalf of Seun Adebiyi.

Seun is a 26 year-old recent graduate of the Yale Law School. He is also trying to make history as the first Nigerian delegate to compete in the Winter Olympics, in which we would compete in the sport of skeleton.

In June 2009, he was diagnosed with two rare and aggressive forms of cancer: lymphoblastic lymphoma and stem-cell leukemia. 

Most likely, his only chance for survival is a bone marrow transplant, but he is facing grim odds. African-Americans comprise only 8% of the registry, and receive transplants in the US only 17 % of the time. Overall, only three out of ten patients find the match they need for a life-saving transplant. 

His goal is to recruit 10,000 new donors with the help of DKMS but he needs our help. Please join me in the bid to save Seun's life. Make a donation today. 100% of money raised will be used for donor testing.

Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!
