Appeal To All RWD Readers
Artist: RWD

RWD needs your help – right now. Keiton is 7 years-old and was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia (ALL) in June 2003. Four weeks ago, in the last month of treatment he suffered a relapsed when the disease took another, very rare form of Leukaemia - Acute Myeloidblastic Leukaemia (AML). For this process to occur, it is very unusual and extremely rare.

He is now an impatient at The Royal Marsden in Sutton where he will be having intensive chemotherapy and Radiotherapy before he has his Bone Marrow Transplant, which is the only way to cure him, without one he will die.

Because he is mixed race (white mother, black father) his tissue type is very unusual and we are still looking for a perfect match donor, as they have not been able to find one on any of the world-wide registrars. The potential donor must be of the same parental background and aged between 18 - 40 years old.

As a donor all you need to do is call 020 7284 1234 to find out where you can give a small amount of blood to see if you are a potential match. If you are, you will be called in to donate bone marrow – a simple and practically pain-free procedure. It will only take one day of your life to save Keiton’s.

The next date is:
Wed 11th October,
Leopold Primary School,
Hawkeshead Road
Harlesden, London NW10 9UR
4pm till 7.30pm

You can find out further dates at www.keitonknight.com

Keiton is truly an amazing boy to be able to go through what he has for the last three years and still have a smile on his face. Please help us keep that smile alive. Paris, Keiton’s mum is an incredible woman and single mother, who has been a tower of strength for him and now really needs your help to make her dream come true and
watch her son grow up and have a fulfilling life.

YOU can help make this happen!!!
