Lee needs a Bone Marrow Donor NOW. Can you help him?

.

A Facebook friend of mine has found himself in a very bad situation at the present moment. After being given the all clear from his AML (Acute Myeloid Leukaemia), he has just been told that the disease has come back again.

Lee Frost NEEDS a bone marrow donor NOW!. If you feel that you can help Lee, and if you are aged between 18-40 contact the Anthony Nolan Trust for testing. If you are over 40 (up to 49) contact the National Blood Service (Blood donors) .

Ask either of these services if they have any donor sessions planned in your area....if they don't....see if they can arrange one...ASAP!

Lee is based in Kettering Northamptonshire. Please, if you can do something to assist Lee in finding a donor please do it......time is of the essence folks!.

Lee is on Facebook ( Lee Van Halen Frost) if you would like to speak to him yourself, i am sure that he would be very pleased to hear from anyone who would like to help him :-)

Leukaemia Boys Father demands removal of power lines

.

A father who lost a son to leukaemia is calling for power lines at a Northampton train depot to be taken down after electric cables in the area were blamed for a rise in cancer rates.

Steve Williams' son Stuart was one of a cluster of children to be struck down with leukaemia while living near electrified railway lines in Pembroke Road, Spencer, in the 1980s and 90s.He called for their removal soon after MPs advised no new houses or schools should be sited within 60 metres of high voltage cables, following years of campaigning by Parents Against Leukaemia.Although British Rail removed the power lines in the 1990s, Siemens have erected new ones at its Kings Heath train depot. Mr Williams, who believes the power lines present a risk to public health, is now calling on the company to remove them.He said: "I watched in disbelief when I saw them put back up. I thought the company knew about the dangers. What I'm worried about is if, as we believe, it was the cause then, it could happen again.
