Laith Abu Areesh
Published on: 24th April 2016
Sixteen-year old Laith Abu Areesh suffers from Fanconi’s Anemia, a condition that affects the bone marrow’s ability to make healthy blood cells. The condition arises from a genetic defect in Laith’s DNA and he has been ill since it was diagnosed in early childhood. Doctors said his best chance of recovery was a bone marrow transplant but extensive searches over the years had failed to find a donor match.
