Akshay needs one lifesaving match. It could be you.
Somewhere, there may already be a person who can save Akshay’s life.
They just haven’t registered yet.
Akshay is searching for a matching stem cell donor.
Your simple step today could help save his life.
In March 2025, 35-year-old Akshay Deotkar’s life changed in a way no one could have imagined.
Akshay was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia (Ph+ ALL), an aggressive form of blood cancer.
Since then, he has undergone CAR T-cell therapy and is currently MRD negative. But the fight is far from over. Doctors have advised him to begin the search for a stem cell donor in case of a relapse because, for patients like Akshay, a matching stem cell donor can become the only hope for survival.
So far, no matching donor has been found.
Not within his family.
Not within existing registries.
Today, time matters.
Because somewhere out there could be the one person genetically matched to Akshay, the one person who could give him a second chance at life.
That person could be you.
By registering, you bring someone closer to a second chance at life with these simple steps.
Here's how you can help.
Registering as a stem cell donor is entirely your decision, and your consent will be taken at every step. However, if you are found to be a match for a patient, you may be their only chance at survival. That’s why we urge you to stay committed and follow through. Your choice to donate could give someone a second chance at life.
