Ms Jo Mitchell, the only daughter of Mr Jim Mitchell who was a police officer and retired with his family to New Zealand, has been recently diagnosed with a relapse of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia. She is desperately looking for a bone marrow donor.

To give Jo the best chance of finding her donor, please register as a bone marrow donor at any one of the blood donor centres of the Hong Kong Red Cross. Relevant information and addresses of the nine blood donor centres can be found via the following link: (http://www5.ha.org.hk/rcbts/enindex.asp).

Please also spread the message to your family, friends and colleagues, and encourage people to have a simple blood test to get on the Bone Marrow Registry that operates worldwide.
