Vancouver surgeon and UBC professor Ronald Lett is appealing to the public for help in finding a bone marrow transplant for his wife Elizabeth Nega, who has an aggressive form of leukemia. Nega, better known as Elsa, discovered that she had acute lymphoblastic leukemia in February and urgently needs a bone marrow transplant. Ronald and Elsa are now reaching out to people of African descent to register as bone marrow donors. Elizabeth Nega, Ronald Lett and their two children are running out of time to find Elsa a bone marrow donor. People interested in registering to be a bone marrow donor can register at blood.ca, must be between 17 and 35 years old and in good health.
