Local Mitchell infant needs public’s help in bone marrow match

Claire Nicholson is currently battling high risk infant leukemia and her parents Joe & Mandy are in need of the West Perth and beyond’s assistance as they look for a possible bone marrow match.

The 2 year old is in her second bout with the cancer after undergoing treatments for a year that started before she even turned 1.

The family is looking for anyone between the ages of 17 and 35 to consider donating blood and be tested to see if they are a possible bone marrow match. The bone marrow kits can be mailed to your home along with the instructions on how to do the test and return it for a result.

The link to request a kit is below.
