Shahin Nouri is a 57-year-old neurologist from New York who needs our help! Shahin has been diagnosed with 2 rare forms of lymphoma that can only be treated with stem cell transplants from matching donors. As the founder of an epilepsy center in NY, Shahin has dedicated his life to helping others and now it is our turn to help him!

To help Shahin, you must register for the U.S. Donor Registry to receive your cheek swab kit. You can do this by going to My.BeTheMatch.org/Shahin OR texting "ShahinDMV" to 61474 to receive a registration link. Shahin's family and friends are also hosting 2 donor match events in Virginia, on June 26th and June 30th to see if they can find a match. The odds of finding a match increase exponentially if the donor is of the same ethnic background so please consider donating!

You can learn more about Shahin's story and campaign at www.ShahinsWings.org. Please donate if you can!
