Lara

Lara is 24 years old and a very giving person.  She speaks 5 languages, studied Global Migration, volunteers with at-risk youth and marginalized groups. She lives in London and was just diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML).  Lara’s family and friends launched a global campaign, in her name, in the UK, Thailand and then in the U.S.   Finding a donor for Lara was difficult because of her heritage.  Her mother is Thai-Chinese and her father is Italian.  Lara’s only sibling, Sebi, was not a match.  Lara found a marrow donor and received her transplant in March 2016.  Lara is home and doing very well.
