11 years after I signed up to the Anthony Nolan register I was called upon to be a match! If all goes to plan I will donating my stem cells this month and I’d like to give more back to the charity now I know what’s involved. So that’s why I’m running 30 miles in June (at least!) and hope people will donate so support the cause. Every £40 raised is enough to get another person on the register and that person can go on to save somebody’s life. Hopefully the donation process and recovery won’t mean too many days off running for me!

More about the charity…

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.
