A Nigerian Sickle Cell survivor, identified as Samira Sanusi has taken
to social media to celebrate her brother, Musty Sanusi who donated his
bone marrow to save her 13 years ago.
Since the bone marrow which was transplanted into her in Vienna,
Austria in 2004, she has devoted her life to fighting sickle cell by
creating awareness, supporting other less fortunate young people with
the condition emotionally and financially via her foundation, the Samira
Sanusi Sickle Cell Foundation.
She took to micro-blogging website, Twitter and wrote:
“13 years ago today @mustysanusi gave me his Bone Marrow/Stem Cells which cured me of Sickle Cell Anaemia”
Nigerian Twitter users have since then crowned her brother a hero as they celebrate him.
