On 28 February, the Union Luxembourgeoise de Patinage A.S.B.L. is organising a large event in Halle Victor Hugo, Luxembourg, with the aim of encouraging young, healthy people aged 16–46 to register as potential stem cell donors. The initiative is intended to support a 15-year-old competitive figure skater from Club Hiversport Patinage Luxembourg who has been diagnosed with leukaemia. She is currently in urgent need of a compatible stem cell donor. This initiative will not only support the young athlete, but it will also benefit all patients suffering from leukaemia by strengthening the national and international donor registry.

You can help, if you are in good health and aged between 16 and 46 years.
