Donations cannot currently be made to this page
ACLT is a charity committed to helping provide hope to patients living with blood cancer and other illnesses where a matched donor (stem cell, blood or organ) is required to save a life. Our work is driven by a belief that no one should die waiting for a donor to become available.

Unfortunately following the Christmas break the charity received the devastating news that they had lost major funding. This has resulted in the urgent need to raise &pound;80,000 by the end of March 2011.</p> <p style="outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-size: 14px; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; line-height: 19px; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; border: 0px initial initial;">Now&nbsp;we are both well aware that everyone is feeling the pinch at the moment with the current&nbsp;financial climate, but that doesn't mean that we can't make a difference collectively as a group and raise some funds for the ACLT together.&nbsp;We will be so appreciative for any contribution you can make, big or small. Every penny counts, so please be as generous as you can.</p> <p style="outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-size: 14px; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; line-height: 19px; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; border: 0px initial initial;">Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
