Salman Khan Donates His Bone Marrow To Pooja  Salman Khan |
After taking pledge of donating bone marrow,actor Salman khan kept his promise by giving bone marrow to ailing Pooja.The little girl is in need of a bone marrow transplant and seeing the need of hour, Salman came forward with the benevolent gesture.
Salman Khan few days before pledged of donating marrow at Marrow Donor Registry to create awareness among people about the noble act. Arbaaz Khan following his brother’s footsteps has also joined the campaign. Affirming the news, Dr. Sunil Parekh a member of MDRI said, " I thank Salman Khan for coming forward and taking up our cause. Four years ago, Salman had read about Pooja, a little girl who was in need of bone marrow transplant. He got his entire football team to come and donate marrow. Unfortunately, they all backed out last minute, and only Salman and Arbaaz landed up donating and became the first donors”.
Dr Parekh also spoke about government not acting very responsible for this as he said, "We made a foolish mistake to depend on the government in 2004. We didn`t get the right help..."
The actor urging people to come forward and act as saviors for many said, "We have only 5000 donors currently. It`s not merely the lack of awareness; it`s our attitude that`s also the problem. And this will make us responsible for patients` lives. Donate marrow and save a life. It`s just like a blood test and doesn`t take time. I know some people are scared of blood tests, too... but it`s time to become a little brave and make a big difference."
Be Brave, Donate marrow and save a life !
