</span>They're the UK's most successful stem cell register, saving lives every day by matching people in need of lifesaving transplants to stem cell donors.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;&nbsp; </span>They want to save even more lives and additional funds to help further their research and increase the number of people on their register are crucial.</span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="color: black;
