This year, I am running the Great North Run in memory of the amazing Maisie Ryan. Anthony Nolan was a cause very close to Maisie’s heart and like many of Maisie’s friends and family, continuing to raise money in this way ensures that her wonderful work and legacy continues to benefit many people for years to come. I am proud to be following in her footsteps by running in this event and know she’ll be there every step of the way, Maisie, we all love and miss you every day 🌈

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.
