Daniel's chances of finding a match were slim. They were 1 in 250,000.

In 1993, Daniel De-Gale was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. At the end of March 1995 his parents Beverley De-Gale OBE and Orin Lewis OBE were told that Daniel was leukaemia free, and that the family should go home and get on with their lives.
However, 9 months later the blood cancer returned (Daniel relapsed) and Daniel’s parents were told that his best chance of survival would be to receive healthy donated stem cells from a donor.
Determined to find Daniel’s match, his parents decided to found the African Caribbean Leukaemia Trust in 1996 and roll out media campaign to find Daniel his donor match.
