LEUKAEMIA patient Lara Casalotti has found a stem cell donor, according to the campaign set up to track down a suitable match for her. The case was complicated by 24-year-old Casalotti’s half-Thai and half-Italian heritage, which significantly lengthened the odds of a match. The online Match4Lara campaign garnered support from author JK Rowling, British Premier David Cameron and celebrity Stephen Fry, among other personalities.
Yesterday, the campaign released a video saying that a “well matching donor has been found”.
“It’s kind of incredible and amazing to think that this person is one in 25 million,” Casalotti said in the video.
Casalotti said that the campaign would continue as mixed-race donors are still underrepresented in databases across the world.
