MATCH4JAYDEN supporting DKMS
Gill Family is raising money for DKMS
Story
Thank you for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page. We are helping to raise awareness and sign more donor's onto the stem cell registry; and at the same time we would like to support the organisation financially too. Each registration cost's £40 to process so every donation given will help towards this.
The only ‘match’ our football loving little boy cares about now is a marrow match.
In April 2018, Jayden Dhillon was diagnosed with AML Leukaemia at the young age of 7, and in typical Jayden fashion he fought it like the soldier he is and was given the all clear by August 2018.
In October 2019, the cancer returned and this time he needs your help more than ever.
Currently, only 69% of patients can find the best possible match from a stranger, and this drops dramatically to 20% if you're a patient from a black, Asian or ethnic minority background.
We need the community to come together to help find Jayden a bone marrow match.
Could you be his lifesaver?

2. Complete the 2 minute cheek swab once you receive your pack in the post
3. Return the form and swabs back using the free postage envelope
4. Within 6 weeks, you’ll be placed onto the register and will be contacted directly if you are a match
For those who know Jayden and the family personally, please respect their privacy at this difficult time and refrain from contacting them directly - all updates will be shared on the instagram & facebook page @match4jayden (These page's are administered by close family)
