Call Put Out for Bone Marrow Lifesavers By Dental Clinic

THE Pall Mall Dental Clinic in Liverpool will today join up with one of the world’s largest life-saving charities in a bid to help save an eight-year-old Huyton girl.

Faye Lafferty suffers from Aplastic Anaemia, a rare life threatening disorder characterised by the failure of the bone marrow to produce blood cells.

It leads to a severe shortage of all types of blood cell causing tiredness, susceptibility to infection and serious problems with bleeding.

Faye’s only chance of a long life is a bone marrow transplant.

The Anthony Nolan Trust has organised the clinic’s search for potential bone marrow donors.

It takes place at the Pall Mall dental practice between 5pm and 7pm today. The arrangement came about after the charity helped the best friend of Dr Andrew Healy, the proprietor of the dental clinic, to receive a life-saving bone marrow transplant.

For further details on being a donor, please contact The Pall Mall Dental Clinic on 0151 258 1968 or the Anthony Nolan website, www.anthonynolan.org.uk
