Watch: Boy's family call for more Asian bone marrow donors

The family of a toddler with a rare bone disease have been campaigning for more Asian people to become bone marrow donors.

Three year old Guarav Bains was given a lifesaving transplant, but at first his parents struggled to find a donor.

Bone marrow is found in the middle of many bones in the human body and makes blood cells.

During a transplant damaged or destroyed marrow is replaced with healthy marrow.

The family's campaign has generated a huge increase in the number people coming forward as bone barrow donors.

Watch Ayshah's report to find out why Guarav's Dad thinks more people should donate.
