he is undergoing treatment,
the actor has drawn strength from his weakness so that his
Instagram users
are aware of an
important reflection.
It's as simple as it is powerful: "Many of these messages offer help. And this is the message from my doctors: if you want to help,
become a marrow donor.
The process of donating bone marrow and stem cells is simple. There are many misconceptions about "donating bone marrow and stem cells, especially that it is burdensome or painful. But thanks to advances in technology
the donation process is much simpler
than before."
In addition, he comments that
"millions of people
are already included in the international registry, which allows 90% of patients in need of a bone marrow transplant to find
a compatible donor.
The more people who register, the greater the chances of finding compatibility for everyone." those who need it." To do this, he emphasizes two of the links of the
Josep Carreras Foundation
that the tenor created in 1987 after surviving leukemia.

a television, film and theater
actor , he is also a theater
director and set designer

From him Un parte invisible de este mundo
