## Resource

Sarah Taylor, 28, fights a rare blood cancer with daily transfusions while waiting for a life-saving stem cell transplant—her only hope lies overseas as Australia’s donor registry falls far short. With just 1200 patients waiting and a critical gap between local donors and global needs, her story exposes a national crisis: Australia lags behind countries like Germany in donor registrations, largely due to poor awareness and misconceptions about the simple, painless process. Despite setbacks like a lung infection, Sarah’s transplant is finally scheduled—but her battle highlights the urgent need for more donors, especially young adults, to save lives and reduce the crushing delays that turn survival into a gamble. The Leukaemia Foundation is calling for action: more funding, smarter campaigns, and a national push to build a robust donor network before it’s too late.
