Akshay needs one lifesaving match. It could be you!

Somewhere, there may already be a person who can save Akshay’s life.

Akshay is searching for a matching stem cell donor. Your simple step today could help save his life.

March 2025, Akshay Deotkar’s life changed in a way no one could have imagined.

At 35, he was living a happy life in the United States with his wife and their 2-year-old son. Originally from Sambhajinagar, Maharashtra, he had spent years building a future for his family, balancing work, responsibilities, travel plans, and dreams for the years ahead.
Then came the diagnosis.

Akshay was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia (Ph+ ALL), an aggressive form of blood cancer.
Akshay is not just a patient battling blood cancer. He is a husband trying to stay strong for his family. A son carrying the hopes of his loved ones. And most importantly, a father who wants to be there for his child’s future. To create memories together. To live the ordinary moments that suddenly become priceless when life becomes uncertain.

For his family, this search is not just about finding a donor. It is about finding hope.

Today, time matters.
Because somewhere out there could be the one person genetically matched to Akshay, that one person who could give him a second chance at life.
Akshay’s family has chosen to turn their difficult journey into a mission to spread awareness and encourage more people to register.

Now, your support can help bring him closer to finding his matching donor. Maybe you are the one person someone is waiting for.
