Cord Blood Donation

When I was pregnant with Adrienne, I discovered that I could donate my babies cord blood so that in the future we could help Alexis and Zachary.

Cord blood contains huge amounts of Stem cells. Stem cells are used in research for their potential in the help of treating patients with life threatning diseases. Just like sicklecell thalassaemia.

Cord blood has stem cells (unlike stem cells found in Adults) has the potential in giving patients hope of finding a match.
