Rest In Peace, Carolyn
April 29, 2009 by Gail
I’ve been sitting on this for a couple of days, and I wish I didn’t have to write this.
Carolyn Tam is now in peace, after fighting for her life for the past two and a half years, and with others fighting for her life, against leukemia. I didn’t know her directly, but she is a friend of a friend. I’ve written about her in May and June of last year, adding my support to a campaign to encourage people to donate to their local bone marrow registry. Valiant efforts were made worldwide in this regard to boost the numbers of donors within the Asian population and find a match for Carolyn. After many registration drives on her behalf, I held so much hope for her chances. Carolyn lost her fight on April 23, 2009, in Vancouver, surrounded by her loved ones. (That day is also my younger brother’s birthday, so I won’t be forgetting it.)
Wherever you are in the world, please visit your local bone marrow registry to get yourself tested and registered. All it takes is a simple blood test to determine your bone marrow profile for matching purposes, and there is no obligation to donate, you always have a choice.
Please register and save a life.
