Eli Tovbeyn is a 33 year-old man. He emigrated from Moscow to Israel in 1992. He is married and a father of a six year-old child, Natali. They live in Modiin, Israel. Eli was a healthy man, involved in sports and enjoying his life when he began to suffer from what seemed like an endless bout of flu. In May 2009 he was diagnosed having acute Leukemia – AML M5, including the LFT3 IDT genetic disorder.

Eli’s only chance for survival is to undergo a bone marrow transplant. His doctors queried all the bone marrow registrations worldwide but haven’t found a match. Eli’s best chances to find a match are among Ashkenazi Jews, ideally with ancestors from Eastern Europe.

You can help Eli in two ways: by joining the bone marrow donors registry and/or by contributing money. All contributions will be used to cover samples processing.
