The humanitarian action in search of a bone marrow donor was launched by the ofice of Federal MP Rezzo Schlauch of the Alliance 90/Greens who is also the parliamentary state secretary at the Federal Ministry for Economy and Labour.
The Consulate General of Croatia has sent invitations to all leaders of the Catholic missions, Croatian cultural and sport societies, to initiate among their parishioners and the membership the humanitarian action for rescuing young, Daniel's mother being a Croatian from Split, which makes the search for a suitable donor in Germany difficult.

The second round of testing is scheduled in Wollhause in Heilbronn on 12 July 2003, from 10.00 to 17.00 h.
