Background

重型地貧患者由於身體不能製造足夠的血紅蛋白，因此需要終生接受輸血和藥物治療來維持生命。長期輸血會令鐵質積聚於體內，影響身體各個器官，因此他們亦需要接受除鐵治療，排出身體上多餘的鐵質。本會舉辦籌款活動，資助重型地貧病人購買除鐵用品、進行骨髓移植治療，根治地貧。現正招募大量賣旗義工，歡迎帶同小朋友一起進行買旗活動，為有需要的人士出一分力。Patients with thalassaemia major suffer from severe anaemia due to a genetic defect in haemoglobin production; they need blood transfusions and medical treatment to sustain life. The side effect of blood transfusion is an accumulation of iron in the body that causes damage to multiple organs. Therefore patients require iron chelation treatment to remove the excessive iron in the body.We raise funds for Thalassaemia major patients to purchase iron chelation devices and accessories, financing them to carry out bone marrow transplants to cure the disease. We are now recruiting volunteers for our flag day; kids are welcome to join the activity. Let’s work together to help those in need.

What we have

本會將會提供義工賣旗活動地點及義工指引。完成賣旗活動後義工可獲賣旗證書及麥兜金旗貼紙一張。We will provide notes for volunteers regarding the areas where they are allowed to sell flags. Upon completion, volunteers will receive a certificate and a piece of McDull gold flag sticker.
