As we said back in the day<\/a>, nothing beats a good, solid success story. Well, I’m happy to report to the Mutiny that in BOTH Vinay and Sameer’s case<\/strong>, we’ve got some pretty solid success.<\/p>\n\n

Team Vinay<\/a> reports – <\/p>\n

Hello everyone, this is Bharath (Vinay’s brother). Sorry for keeping many of you in the dark about Vinay’s progress. \n

<\/p>\n

…Day Zero is fondly known as “your new birthday”. That day was August 24, and the day Vinay received his transplant. <\/p>\n

…For the good news\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6it appears that the bone marrow transplant is “engrafting”. His counts are showing signs of recovery and it is clear that the wonderful donors cells are now taking seed in his own marrow.<\/blockquote><\/td><\/tr>\n

Sameer<\/a> reports – <\/p>\n

…Ladies and gentlemen, I was informed today that, through a miracle of God, a 10 out of 10 match has been found for me!! \n

<\/p>\n

Let that sink in for a second\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6this is truly a miracle that came through literally at the last minute. If this match had been found even next week, it’s not clear that it would have been in time given that I need some sort of transplant within 4 weeks. \n

…This match appears to have come from the 400+ bone marrow registration drives that Teams Vinay and Sameer have put forth, registering nearly 24,000 donors to-date. <\/p>\n

…The result? An increase of South Asian representation in the national bone marrow registry by 20%.<\/blockquote><\/td><\/tr><\/table>\n\n

<\/p>\n\n

A hearty SM congrats to both of them. <\/p>\n\n

Mutineers – keep your fingers crossed and these guys in your thoughts & prayers — as far as they’ve come, they’ve still got a long way to go and can use the help. And, for every Vinay and Sameer that we write about, there are thousands of others we don’t so if you haven’t been swabbed yet, there are still opportunities<\/a> to get it done.<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
