I wonder if her parents have tried linking her fb page to the LK facebook page. Literally hundreds of UK LK's on there & even if only a few donate it may work.

it's called Luk Krung, Half thai

I don't believe so, and I've sent Nick Pugh an email suggesting the idea.

Thanks very much!

Nick tells me he tried to find a way to link the Luk Krung Facebook page with Tia's Facebook page, without success.

Guys, the man's a bit overwhelmed right now, and I know nothing about Facebook. Can anyone help?

Could you please send me the link to the page as the one I found only has a few followers on it.

Thank you. I'm looking into doing registration drives in Thailand. Hopefully I will find out more today.

Thanks Nick. When I asked for medical info, I wasn't sure what details might be needed - should have done my homework first, silly boy. Anyway, daughter is now checking the FB page and will link it to her friends. She knows many luk krung adults in Bangkok, and she will ask them to spread the word via FB. Your daughter is so cute. We will do our best to help.

Thank you. The best way is to scroll down on Tia's page and it gives you the option to invite friends as sharing doesn't seem to have the same effect. I am waiting for another important call today from select blood cancer as they carry out registrations. I'm hoping they will contact the registrars in Thailand for me so we can plan drives over their. Thank you for helping my family :)

Blood type is not relevant in stem cell donation, only generally good health, and falling within the age criteria, which varies from registry to registry. The recipient's marrow is "killed off" and the donor's implanted. The recipients's blood type can even change after that.

They match donors and recipients using HLA, a protein. This can be done by swabs or blood draws. In LOS, the Red Cross uses blood draws.

If your daughter or any of her friends would like to help at any of the Donor Drives now being planned for Thailand, please have them PM me or Nick.

We could use the help!

Appreciate that. After I sent my earlier message, I went to the other thread which has a lot more info. This is the link for anyone who wants to read more about the issue (it contains a lot of useful links):
