Story
Every day, Anthony Nolan saves the lives of people with a blood cancer or blood disorder. We do this by matching incredible individuals willing to donate their stem cells to people who desperately need a lifesaving transplant. We also carry out cutting edge scientific research, fund specialist post-transplant nurses and support patients and their families through the transplant process and beyond. We won’t stop until we save the lives of everyone who needs a stem cell transplant. Every penny you donate brings us closer to that day.
Over 2,000 people in the UK need a bone marrow or
stem cell transplant every year and in 2017/18 Anthony Nolan gave the second
chance of life to an incredible 1396, but there is still more to do: just 60%
of patients can find the best possible match for a lifesaving stem cell
transplant.
Earlier this year I heard from Holly who, in her
words, is “one of the lucky ones”; her son was saved by Anthony Nolan. Her
story has inspired me to take on 2 challenges for Anthony Nolan to help raise
funds for this incredible charity to help them to save more lives. On Saturday
13th April I’ll be taking on a Tough Mudder – scaling walls and wading through mud
– and this summer I’ll be climbing the 3 Peaks.
Please give generously to help me hit my target of
£1000, which could recruit 25 new potential lifesavers for the register.
Together we can help this incredible charity and save more lives!
