You're my Type: The Donor Lottery

Leukaemia patients get a fighting chance thanks to genetic ‘twin’ donors.

Get short URL

Every day, donors of bone marrow and stem cells save lives of strangers by becoming their blood sisters and brothers. Finding a genetic twin is like winning the lottery; the changes are 1 in 10 thousand. Individuals and charities in Russia and abroad work together to raise awareness about donation and recruit new volunteers whose generous gift might one day cure someone with a fatal blood disease.
