This is such a sad story and reinforces the need for Asian Americans to be bone marrow donors. (Also see Project Michelle, 1,000 Cranes for Hope, and Nick Glasgow.) Watch this heartbreaking video from Natalie’s younger sister’s perspective.

Natalie is 8yrs old and was diagnosed with an aggressive form of leukemia. (AML – acute myeloid leukemia) After 5 rounds of chemo, Natalie was in remission, but as of 1/19/10 her cancer returned. Her only chance for survival is a bone marrow transplant. Please register to donate. You could be the one to save her life. Go to dkmsamericas.org or hopefornatalie.com

The current odds for an ethnic minority patient, like Natalie to find a matching unrelated donor may be close to 1 in a million. This is the reason they are trying so hard to reach as many people in the Asian population as possible. The more Asians we get swabbed, the more likely Natalie will find her “Needle In A Hay-Stack” match. Please spread the word to get people interested in the fight to SAVE Natalie’s life.

Recently, Alyssa Milano sent a twitter message out about Natalie. See it here.

Hope for Natalie
