<td width="71%" height="205">Our lovely <strong><a href="/html/graham.htm">Graham</a></strong> was		          diagnosed in April 2007 with a deadly type of leukaemia that affects less than 6 adults a year in Australia and his only chance of survival was a bone marrow transplant.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, as Graham is adopted, he doesn&#8217;t have an <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stem_cell_transplant#Donor_selection" target="_blank">HLA-identical sibling</a> to act as a donor for him. So the<a href="http://www.donateblood.com.au/" target="_blank"> RedCross here in Australia</a> searched the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stem_cell_transplant#Marrow_donor_registries" target="_blank">Bone Marrow Registries</a> worldwide for 9 months to find a match.</p>
<p>Graham has a rare tissue type and a match was not found.</p>
<p>Thanks to generous donations of over $400,000, Graham was able to travel from his home in Melbourne, Australia to <a href="http://www.seattlecca.org/">Seattle</a> in the USA for a revolutionary, life-saving stem cell treatment in April 2008.</p>
<p>On Wed 6th August, he was the 8th person in the world to receive a <a href="http://www.fhcrc.org/about/pubs/center_news/2005/may19/sart1.html" target="_blank">Stem Cell Transplant</a> using stem cells grown in the lab from an umbilical cord.</p>
<p>The treatment was a complete success and he is now leukaemia free.</p>
<p>He is back in Melbourne, recovering from the treatment but still has outstanding medical bills of $416,000.</td>
