Unfortunately, 7000 sufferers require life saving bone marrow transplants at any one time. Less than 3% of potential donors on the bone marrow registers are made up of ethnic minorities. Raising awareness & potential funds for the ACLT will allow us to continue to host awareness events and registration drives throughout the UK and Worldwide, therefore potentially giving greater hope to leukaemia and bone marrow cancer sufferers of all racial backgrounds.

The aim of the ACLT is to raise the required funds to start an independent ACLT Bone Marrow Register that will allow us to undertake world wide donor searches. The ultimate aim of the charity is to be able to fund the testing of the many potential bone marrow donors stepping forward. The Registry will be UK based and working in conjunction with the world bone marrow registers, which will enable the ACLT to coordinate the implementation and planning of raising awareness campaigns within the UK for the under represented communities. We want to start small and as funds start to come in we will grow allowing the register to then recruit greater numbers of potential donors from these under represented groups around the world and in the future have our own laboratories enabling an in-house testing & research facility.

There are many sufferers and their families fighting with tremendous courage and strength. We would like to observe that their battle would not be in vain.
