Rowan Tong-Law, an 18-year-old UQ physiotherapy student, was recently diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukaemia. After six months of chemotherapy, his only chance for survival is a stem cell transplant.

A global search is on to find a match.

We need donors aged 18–35.

How to Help:

How it works:

  • Register online.
  • Receive a cheek swab kit, and send it back.
  • If you’re a match, donate blood—it's a simple process.

Join the Stem Cell Registry today and potentially save a life!
