The parents of two-year-old are facing a race against time after the tot was diagnosed with leukaemia. Two-year-old Flaminia Pugliese has been in Nanbu Children's Hospital in Okinawa, Japan since January 14.
She was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer called Myeloid Leukaemia AML (Acute Myeloid Leukemia) M7. Flaminia received several course of chemotherapy but is now in need of a bone marrow transplant.
But because her Dad Thomas Pugliese is Italian and mum Naraha Pugliese is Japanese, it means that her donor needs to have similar genetics. Thomas and Naraha were not able to find a suitable donor in Japan, so they are now appealing internationally for someone who is half Causasian and half Japanese to help them.
