In January 2018 Coralise received a call saying she was a potential match for a recipient, and just 7 weeks later she had donated Peripheral Blood Stem Cells (PBSC) and given a stranger hope for a second chance at life! Anthony Nolan treated us both so well during the experience so wanted to give back.

Coralise and I are walking the 100km Cotswold Way Challenge on June 26th - 27th in aid of Anthony Nolan's amazing work. We hope to raise awareness of the charity, and hope that someone out there will register to be a stem cell donor💚 If you know us well, last year we did the Lyke Wake walk, which was hell for someone with small feet like me, but this is much further! Instead of any birthday presents this year, I'd appreciate a donation to Anthony Nolan instead. Thank you :)

More donors are always needed on the register in order to save more lives and it costs Anthony Nolan £40 to add a new potential donor to the register!

"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."
