TL;DR Summary

Two-year-old Elijah, diagnosed with a rare form of leukaemia, is in need of a bone marrow transplant. His family is urging people to sign up as potential donors to help find a match. Elijah's constant illness was initially a medical mystery, but he was later diagnosed with Noonan syndrome and juvenile myelomonocytic leukaemia. Chemotherapy is not as effective for his condition, and a bone marrow transplant is crucial for his treatment. The family's plea for donors has received support from a blood cancer charity and various celebrities, as they hope to give Elijah the best chance of finding a donor match and improving his health.
