The life of a desperately ill toddler could be saved if the correct bone marrow donor comes forward at a Tooting clinic.

Ibrahim Meer, who is nearly two, needs an ethnic minority donor but there is a shortage. A bone marrow transplant could be his only hope of survival.

The Anthony Nolan Bone Marrow Trust is holding the clinic tomorrow at Al-Risaala School, 47A Balham High Road from 11am to 3pm.

Donors from ethnic minorities, who must be between 18-43, will be asked to give a small blood sample and complete a medical form.

If people are not eligible to become donors but would like to help the trust in other ways, please call 020 8421 0322. For details on being a donor call 020 7284 1234.
