[PAY IT FORWARD] LOOKING FOR A CURE FOR LEUKEMIA, IN HONOR OF AYDIN

One thing that is truly admirable about Christina Aguilera is that she gives back with her devotion to several causes i.e. domestic abuse, world hunger, etc. Not only that, her music and message have helped us get through some of the most difficult times. So we should continue this trend and take a note from Miss Christina, herself, to help those in need.

I have made this page in honour of my nephew Aydin Hassan who has been diagnosed with Leukemia. Leukemia is a type of cancer of the blood or bone marrow characterized by an abnormal increase of white blood cells. Leukemia is a broad term covering a spectrum of diseases. In turn, it is part of the even broader group of diseases called hematological neoplasms. In 2000, approximately 256,000 children and adults around the world developed some form of leukemia, and 209,000 died from it. About 90% of all leukemia is diagnosed in adults. Aydin is currently undergoing chemotherapy treatments. He is a fighter and we all hope and prey he will overcome this to live a long, happy and healthy life. Just last week he decided to get a jug and ask for gold coin donations to give to charity for others in need. This amazed us, the idea coming from a 6 year old! I wanted to help Aydin out, so created this page to collect small donations for him to put towards the Leukaemia Foundation. Donations can be made at http://www.everydayhero.com.au/zerin_hassan Or to me in person or paypal. 100% of all donations will be going to the Leukeamia Foundation. Thanks for supporting my page. Will keep you all updated on Aydins progress. Much love Aunty Zizi Zerin xx
