ACTOR MALCOLM FREDERICK, who starred in the 80s sitcom "No Problem", urgently needs your help to stay alive.
Malcolm FrederickHe is seeking a bone marrow donor and desperately requires more people to give a blood sample in order to find a match.
Frederick, who has 30 year long list of theatre, film and TV credits to his name, is suffering from a form of Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma called Mantle Cell Lymphoma which is an aggressive form of the cancer.
The only 'cure' is a bone marrow transplant. His siblings have been checked but unfortunately there isn't a match.
The reality is that Caribbean people have a very unique genetic so it is imperative that as many as possible sign up for the bone marrow register.
Here are the latest dates of African Caribbean Lukaemia Trust's up and coming mobile clinics:
Thursday 12th October, 5pm till 8pm at the Katherine Road Community Centre, 254 Katherine Road, Forest Gate E7 8PN
Thursday 26th October, Time 12 to 3pm at the Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea, The Small Hall, Hornton Road, London W8

Many of you will remember him playing the role of Beastie in the 1980’s British Black Sitcom ‘NO PROBLEM’ along with a 30 year long list of theatre, film and TV credits to his name.
Malcolm is suffering from a form of Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma called Mantle Cell Lymphoma which is an aggressive form of the cancer. The only 'cure' is a bone marrow transplant. His siblings have been checked but unfortunately there isn't a match there, so we now have to look on the register.
The good news is that he is in remission at the moment but we have no knowledge of how long this will last. The best time to do the bone marrow operation is ideally whilst he is in remission as he should be better able to deal with the side effects etc of this operation. So he really needs the transplant as soon as possible.
The reality is that we Caribbean’s have a very unique genetic make up that is a result of slavery and the other influences in our history, so it is imperative that as many of us as possible sign up for the bone marrow register.
