Held of FC Pipinsried: Stem cell dispenser calls for typing!

In August, 23-year-old Tim Greifenegger, a player of the football Bavaria team FC Pipinsried, took a remarkable step: he became a stem cell donor. Despite the multi -layered praise, which he gave him, Greifenegger sees this as a normal act of humanity. "It is a matter of course to help someone if you can help," he explains modestly.

his donation helped a young blood cancer patient from Germany. More precisely, he knows that the recipient of the stem cells is under 30, but further details remain hidden, which he feels right. Clear goal of the defensive player: encourage as many people as possible to imitate his crime in order to register with the German bone marrow donor file (DKMS).

In order to put his request into practice, Greifenegger plans a typing campaign in cooperation with the DKMS. This will take place next Saturday, October 12, from 12 noon to 3 p.m. in the Tennisheim of FC Pipinsried. Registration is free for everyone. At the same time, the DKMS hopes for donations because each examination is associated with costs of around 50 euros.

FCP President Benny Rauch said that the club wanted to act quickly after Greifenegger was identified as a potential donor. "At first we thought of a blood donation date, but then we decided on the typing," said Rauch. So that many spectators are mobilized for the good cause, a home game from FC Pipinsried against SV Erlbach will be played on Saturday at 4 p.m. Anyone who participates in typing will receive a free drink in the stadium as a small thank you.

Further information on registration and typing campaign can be called up on the DKMS website. It remains to be seen how many are inspired by Greifegger's commitment and are ready to set a sign of solidarity. A contribution that could change life for many often begins with a small step like registration as a stem cell donor.
