Hi guys, this summer, I'll be skydiving to raise money for Anthony Nolan, helping them save people who suffer from blood cancers to find a matching donor. The process is expensive and costs £40 to add one single donor to the stem cell donor list. I aim to raise £400 which will add 10 donors to the stem cell register list. Every penny and pound you contribute may help save a life, there isn't such a thing as too little to give.
Plymouth Marrow:
We are a part of the network of lifesaving students who work with the blood cancer charity, Anthony Nolan. There are over 50 Marrow groups, with hundreds of student volunteers (like us!) in universities across the country, who are all working towards one thing saving the lives of people with blood cancer. Every 14 minutes someone in the UK is diagnosed with blood cancer. For someone with blood cancer, a stem cell transplant could be their last chance of survival. At Anthony Nolan, we match incredible people willing to donate their stem cells, to people with blood cancer who are in desperate need of a lifesaving transplant. Marrow now recruits one in four people who go on to donate stem cells, which means hundreds of lives are potentially saved by Marrow's incredible work. It costs £40 to add each potential lifesaver to the stem cell register. Every penny and every pound that Plymouth Marrow raises will help to continue saving the lives of people with blood cancer.
