Story

Leland was diagnosed with MDS blood cancer and chromosome 7 in the marrow in September 2022. He urgently needed Stem cell transplant within 4 months as his only cure. Unfortunately none of our family were a match, so we needed to raise awareness to gain a donor to save Lelands life. Anthony Nolan stepped in and found that special donor.

One year on after on Lelands immune system is recovering and he is cancer free all through the amazing doctors and nurses at the RVI Newcastle and that amazing donor. He now wants to give back and will be running the GNR in September, please spare a few pennies and support an amazing charity that gave Leland that second chance at life.

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.
