Stem cell drive launches Thursday afternoon for London cancer patient
According to the Canadian Cancer Society, both diseases originate in the blood’s stem cells, which are defined as “immature cells” that can develop into any cells in the bloodstream, according to Canadian Blood Services. Without stem cells, the body cannot produce the blood cells needed for the immune system to function properly.Moriah Gerofsky, Simkovich’s niece, is an organizer of the drive which is held in affiliation with Canadian Blood Services.
She explained that once a potential donor is swabbed, they are added to the Canadian and international registries where results can be accessed by transplant teams in search of matches all over the world. However, Gerofsky said that even if someone is a match and asked if they would like to donate, they are “by now means obligated” to do so.
