Story

Marrow is a network of lifesaving students who work with the blood cancer charity, Anthony Nolan. There are over 50 Marrow groups, with hundreds of student volunteers in universities across the country, who are all working towards one thing - saving the lives of people with blood cancer.

This Justgiving page has been set up in support of Gunners Goal. 18-month-old Gunner was diagnosed with a rare disease called MPS Type 1 Hurler, which prevents his body from converting sugar into necessary protein. Although it was discovered at an early stage, Gunners doctors believe his best chance of survival is a stem cell transplant before his second birthday.

Unfortunately, there is no current match for Gunner on the stem cell register, so his family has launched Gunners Goal - a fundraising appeal to help Anthony Nolan send thousands of swab packs to people who have applied to join the stem cell register, increasing the chances of people like Gunner finding his match. We are fundraising for Anthony Nolan, in support of Gunners Goal.

Gunner is a smiley toddler who loves high-fiving his nurses! We want to show our support to Gunner and his family, not only through fundraising, but by sending him a virtual high-five.

Here's how to get involved:

· Take a photo of you giving Gunner a high-five

· Donate or pledge to raise £5 on this Justgiving page (You can set up a page for your Marrow group if you want to by clicking the "Start Fundraising" button)

· Share your high-five photo and the link to this Justgiving page in 5 different places

· Use the hashtag #HighFivesForGunner

· Nominate 5 people to donate £5 and share their own high-five for Gunner.

(As always, please make sure you adhere to your local government guidelines and maintain social distancing)

Every 14 minutes someone in the UK is diagnosed with blood cancer. For someone with blood cancer, a stem cell transplant could be their last chance of survival. At Anthony Nolan, we match incredible people willing to donate their stem cells, to people with blood cancer who are in desperate need of a lifesaving transplant.
