The coronavirus pandemic is causing anxiety and frustrations for us all. Were worried about loved ones, dealing with huge life changes and feeling powerless to act.
But for blood cancer patients who cant wait any longer for lifesaving stem cell donations to be delivered, you have the power to save lives in this crisis.
At Anthony Nolan, were taking immediate action to keep donated stem cells moving; from increased health checks on our donors, to battling with travel restrictions and border closures to ensure cells get to patients who desperately need them to survive.
We now need to raise vital extra funds every month that the coronavirus pandemic goes on to fund this work. Which is why were asking you, our incredible supporters, to do what you do best, and get creative to raise money from your own home to help save more lives.
Every £100 you raise could help pay to keep our Emergency Handover Hub at Heathrow Airport open 24 hours a day. This means international couriers, who cant go into hospitals due to quarantine rules, can handover stem cells to one of our UK volunteers for the final lifesaving leg.
Our teams are working around the clock to make this happen. Please raise whatever you can today to our Coronavirus Emergency Appeal to keep this vital work going.
Anthony Nolan is a charity founded on the kindness of people coming together, and right now, we need your kindness more than ever.
