Save The "Princess"

The MOMS Club of Duvall in Washington is on a mission to save a life. They found out that the child of one of their own members, herself a resident of Duvall, has little chance of survival, unless she gets the help she needs.

The statement from the club website's page titled Moms on a Mission to Save Our "Princess", goes like this:

Her 5-year old daughter loves to dance, play, sing and laugh and is, in most ways, like most of our children except for one thing, she has a life-threatening, genetic disorder called Fanconi Anemia. The effects of the disease are devastating, leaving patients weak and prone to severe bleeding due to insufficient blood clotting and susceptible to infection. Patients are also at an increased risk for developing Leukemia and other cancers. Many children do not survive to adulthood. Our little girl needs a bone marrow transplant to save her life. The National Bone Marrow Registry has come up with a disappointingly low number of potential matches. That is where we, the community, come in. Maybe, just maybe, we can all be heroes and help keep our little “princess” dancing for years to come.

Won't you join with these great Moms to save this life? You could potentially save many more by either donating blood or having your blood typed and joining the National Bone Marrow Registry. A blood typing fee of $25.00 is a small price to pay for the life you could save. Make this your opportunity to be a hero and save a life.

Check out the MOMS Club of Duvall Blood & Marrow Registry Drive (With help from the Puget Sound Blood Center), Saturday, June 11th at the Duvall Fire House, 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Onsite childcare will be available to all volunteer donors. Look here for contact information and further details.

God bless you.
