DID IT!  4 hours 54 and I hated every step.  It was without question the most uncomfortable experience of my entire life!   Truly horrid.  So THANKYOU for sponsoring me and making this awful experience worthwhile.  I am so grateful for your generosity, as is the Anthony Nolan Trust.  Now that I know more about the amazing work they do I am off to join the register myself.
Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: The Anthony Nolan Trust will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you. It is a truly worthwhile charity that does lifesaving work providing donors for patients in need of a bone marrow transplant.
Many thanks for your support.
