Help save this young life P. Babu Vaythiyanathan is a 25-year old ex-Thomian (S. Thomas' Mt. Lavinia) who was recently diagnosed for Hodgkins Lymphoma (A cancer in the lymph nodal regions) about one year ago. He underwent treatment at the Maharagama Cancer Institute under Dr. Jayantha Balawardane but has not responded to frontline treatment, and has been recommended immediate high dose chemotherapy followed by bone marrow transplant. This procedure which needs to be carried out in India, is estimated to cost approximately Rs. 2.5 Million (US$ 25,000). This is an urgent appeal from young Babu's family to those kindhearted philanthropists to save his life as they have used all available resources and are presently helpless. Those willing to help are requested to remit their contributions to P. B. Vaithiyanathan A/C NO: 102950069810 - Sampath Bank, Head Quarters. Save little Sasidu's life One-year-old W. H.
