AMSA INITIATIVE GROUPS 30 AMSA VAMPIRE CUP DonateLife During July, our DonateLife social media campaign raised awareness about the Australian Organ Donation Registry. The campaign aimed to educate that despite our support (76%) for organ/tissue donation, only 36% are registered on the Australian Organ Donation Registry We can open up this conversation and help the 1800 Australians waitlisted for an organ transplant and the 13,000, currently on dialysis, find a potential donor Strength to Give - Australia’s stem cell donor registry Over 110,000 Australians (and millions more overseas!) are living with blood cancer. By joining the donor registry, you could save someone’s life. Recipient story : Pamela was diagnosed with a blood cancer at the age of 24. For years after, she underwent many treatments, including chemotherapy, radiation and an autologous transplant, that were all unfortunately unsuccessful. Then, she was given the option of a donor stem cell transplant, which required a matching donor. However, her Lebanese background made finding a donor match quite challenging. Her brother, Matt, created a Facebook page to spread the message, which gained national and international media attention. Her story prompted many people to join the bone marrow registry, and eventually, Pamela received a successful cord blood stem cell transplant. Her story inspired the creation of Lebanon's first bone marrow registry, and she later even went to Lebanon to raise awareness of this scarcity. Pamela went on to receive the fantastic news that her cancer was in remission in December 2013.
