DKMS UK is working together with other cancer charities to raise awareness and tackle the impact of Covid-19.
Story
DKMS is dedicated to the fight against blood cancer through recruiting blood stem cell donors and providing second chances at life.
Due to the covid-19 pandemic theyve seen a significant drop (49%) in people registering and taking that first step to become potential lifesavers.
At any given time around 2,000 people in the UK are in need of a blood stem cell transplant and with the number of people diagnosed with a blood cancer expected to rise this need has never been greater.
They have also seen that the donations that they depend on have decreased. Many fundraising events have been cancelled or postponed but with your support and donations I can help DKMS UK to register more potential lifesavers.
Someone is diagnosed with blood cancer in the UK every 20 minutes, and many will need a blood stem cell transplant for a second chance at life.
We are committed to increasing the number of potential blood stem cell donors in the UK, so that there is a donor for everyone who needs one.
