Thirteen-year-old boy meets his bone marrow donor for the first time.

Amazing story of Tancrede Bouveret who was diagnosed with Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) which progressed into leukemia at the age of 6. His only cure was a matching bone marrow transplant.
With the help of the Icla da Silva Foundation, in July of 2015, a 100% matching donor was identified in Madison, Wisconsin. Tancrede received his transplant on July 29, 2015.
Tancrede is now 13 years old and despite his illness he continues to lead a normal life.
The Icla da Silva Foundation save lives by recruiting bone marrow donors and providing support services to children and adults with leukemia and other diseases treatable by marrow transplants.
Would you please consider a small donation to assist in our efforts to save more lives? We will provide more HOPE with your HELP.
