I tried again, a couple of hours ago, and again got the "Unexpected Error", so I emailed the lady in charge of their website comms, Janice Hill - whose address is [email protected] telling her the same.

With a bit of luck she'll rectify the problem so that we can keep the ball rolling.

Captain Haynes' daughter is indeed blessed to have a compatable donor. I met a 15 year-old girl who was in hospital with the same diagnosis (as a direct result of using anti-malarial medication) who was not so fortunate, in spite of having 2 brothers.

As an adjunct to this story, and other related conditions requiring bone marrow transplants, I would strongly urge many of you who are expecting children to look at the Stem Cell harvesting and storage programmes - the potential in that area is phenomenal, and without the associated sideline issues involved in bone marrow donor transplants.
