Carol Survives Sickle Cell Anemia
Once a Sickler, Now Fully Healed From the Disease. Tests show no rejection of Mark's transplanted tissue. His bone marrow lives in Carol, his elder sister and produces healthy blood.
Mark 2 years later "post transplant"
it is Mark Mulumba who donated the bone marrow and whose umbilical cord blood was used to give his older sister Carol a new lease on life. Mark Abdullah was found a perfect DNA bone marrow match.
Lukiah Mulumba honoured with an Award for Sickle Cell Awareness.
