Donors are needed to help toddler with leukaemia

David Prever's Breakfast Club

Available for over a year

Elsie Kumar is two and a half years old and in many ways, like any other toddler. But she's also gravely ill and her life is at risk. She desperately needs a blood stem cell donor to give her a chance of surviving a rare form of blood cancer. And the chance of finding someone is slim, because Elsie is mixed race - her dad Arun is from Wheatley and is Asian and and her mum is white. Now the charity helping her is calling for more people with the same mixed ethnic background to consider becoming a blood stem cell donor. Arun spoke to David Prever and began by asking him what his daughter is like. You can find out more at www.deletebloodcancer.org.uk and look for "find a match for Elsie".
