On average, in the Uk 40,000 people get diagnosed with blood cancer each year! For this reason the Haematology team at Sheffield Teaching Hospitals have chosen to walk 40,000 steps each on the 31st of July 2021, to raise awareness and money for the life saving charity Anthony Nolan. 

Every day, Anthony Nolan saves the lives of people with a blood cancer or blood disorder. They do this by matching incredible individuals willing to donate their stem cells to people who desperately need a lifesaving transplant. They  also carry out cutting edge scientific research, fund specialist post-transplant nurses and support patients and their families through the transplant process and beyond. They won’t stop until they save the lives of everyone who needs a stem cell transplant. Every penny you donate brings us closer to that day.
