My story

 

Hey respected people, big time thanks and appreciation for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Having lost my father to cancer I am once again back, all in respect of me father, to take on the little 26.2 mile fun run through the streets of ye olde London town from Greenwich to the Mall, this time running, raising awareness and reaping in the pennies for Anthony Nolan Trust.

What they do…basically, in one sense, they connect people, matching patients to donors, one person who’s immune system needs a boost with another person who is prepared to share a little of theirs, taking back lives from leukaemia by providing life saving bone marrow donors to thousands of men, women and children who otherwise would not survive. However, like everything the detail is tad more complicated, but in general it's by:

Finding and looking after potential donors

Analysing and managing a complex database of tissue-types

Researching ways to make transplantation more successful

 

How little it takes...

£15 is the average cost of a blood sample kit used for taking a donor’s blood sample for testing to determine if they are a lifesaver.

£50 is the average cost for a potential life saver’s blood sample to be tissue typed and identified as a potential life saver.

£125 is the average cost of recruiting and maintaining a donor on our register which increases the chance of finding a bone marrow match for patients.

Please take a little time to log into Anthony Nolan Trust website for more information.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Please help me raise the pennies and I'll take care of the 26.2 miles.

 

Thanks again, see you at The Mall on 25th April 2010 :o)
