PACIFIC ISLANDERS, TEVITANEEDS YOU!
When Tevita was diagnosed with AplasticAnemia in February, he and his family
could not have been more surprised. Anenthusiastic athlete, the 8-year-old is nowlooking for a marrow donor.His best chance of finding a match willcome from someone of Tongan, Samoan,or Chinese descent. At 0.1%, PacificIslanders are the least represented racialgroup on the National Registry, makingTevita’s search all the more difficult.
AADP and Team Tevita have held several
drives around the Bay Area and Sacramento, including drives atgames for Tevita’s football team. Please continue to spread theword, reach out to Samoan and Tongan communities nationwide,and encourage others to register as potential donors; they maybe the match Tevita needs!

NICO TO RECEIVE TRANSPLANT
Nico Poux was first diagnosed withleukemia while living with his family inFrance. The then six-year-oldunderwent several rounds of chemotherapy and a cord bloodtransplant, eventually leading to
remission. However, this remission wasnot to last. In 2011, shortly after Nicoand his family relocated to California, herelapsed. Family and friendsimmediately set up marrow registrationdrives, hoping to find a match for Nico. Like so many patients though, hismixed racial background meant he was far less likely to find amatch. A match was eventually found and Nico is preparing for a transplant. AADP sends him wishes for a speedyrecovery. Follow Nico’s story at his CaringBridge journal, here.
