Emru Townsend diagnosed with leukemia
Montreal animation critic Emru Townsend, diagnosed recently with leukemia, seeks a bone marrow donor. Special event this Sunday Feb. 24 at Montreal’s Coco Café.
Editor of Frames Per Second magazine that he established in 2001, Emru is also a close friend of the Montreal ACM SIGGRAPH chapter. Past panelist, Sketches moderator and Computer Animation Festival jury member at the annual SIGGRAPH conference, he is the CAF co-chair for this year’s edition.
Emru has so far been unsuccessful in finding a bone marrow
donor. To this end, a donor-awareness event in his honour is taking place this
Sunday at Café Coco ( address below ). See the following page for details about
the widespread community support that has emerged around Emru’s case.
