Rahul needs our help...

Hey crew....

Rahul Singh needs help.... please see below the mail fom his dad... Contact details are at the end of the message..

Spread the word and lets all try to give this kid all the help we can....

" OUR YOUNGEST SON OF 10 YEARS, RAHUL SINGH WAS DIAGNOSED ON THE 25 FEBRUARY 2002 WITH ACUTE LYMPHOBLASTIC LEUKEMIA . HE WAS THEN TREATED AT ALBERT LUTHULI. HE WAS IN REMISSION UP UNTIL 2006 AND WE ASSUMED THAT ALL WAS WELL. HE WENT IN FOR REGULAR CHECK UPS AND WAS GIVEN A CLEAN BILL OF HEALTH.

THE WORST WAS OVER BUT THAT BWAS SHORT LIVED. ON THE 25TH OF MARCH 2009 RAHUL RELAPSED AND WAS RE-DIAGNOSED WITH THE SAME DISEASE BUT THIS TIME ROUND HE IS GOING TO REQUIRE A BONE MARROW TRANSFUSION. WE ALREADY HAVE THE RAHUL SINGH MEDICAL TRUST FUND SET UP WITH FIRST NATIONAL BANK AND HAVE HAD EXTENSIVE MEDIA COVERAGE VIA THE PRINT BUT THE IMPACT NEEDS TO BE MORE AND I AM THEREFORE WRITING TO YOU BOTH TO ASK FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE AND THROUGH YOUR SHOWS REACH THE INDIA MASSES AND ASK THEM TO GET TESTED. I AM IN CONSTANT CONTACT WITH TENLEY CUMMINS FROM THE SUNFLOWER FOUNDATION AND WE HOPE TO RAISE MUCH NEEDED FUNDS TO GET MORE PEOPLE TESTED.

WE ARE AT OUT TEATHERS END AND REALLY HAVE XHAUSTED ALL AVENUES. WE WENT TO THE SOUTH AFRICAN BONE MARROW REGISTRY AND DREW A BLANK WITH OUR LAST HOPE WHICH WAS IN THE USA. THIS IS NOT ABOUT THE MONEY ANYMORE BUT MORE TO GET PEOPLE FROM THE ASIAN POPULATION GROUP TESTED AND THAT IN ITSELF IS A DAUNTING TASK AS OUR PEOPLE ARE SO IGNORANT ABOUT WHAT THIS TAKES.

CAN EITHER OF YOU HELP US WITH OUR PLIGHT?

PLEASE LET US KNOW SO THAT WE CAN PROGRESS THIS FURTHER.

THANK YOU AND I SINCERELY LOOK FORWARD TO SOME POSITIVE REPLY FROM YOU.

KIND REGARDS

DARREN SINGH
