Hello lovely people!

Thank you for stopping by this page :)

I am raising money with Newcastle Marrow for the Anthony Nolan charity to help save the lives of people with blood cancer.

This cause is especially important to me because: 

• <5% of stem cell donors are Asian and
• People from black, Asian or other backgrounds (BAME) have just a 20% chance of finding the best possible stem cell donor match, compared to 69% for northern European backgrounds

That's why the more people from diverse backgrounds register as potential blood stem cell donors, the higher the chance that a match can be found for those from BAME backgrounds.

If you haven't already joined the register, please consider doing so! You could be the match someone has been waiting for and save their life, which is an incredible thing to do ♥ 

It's a super quick and easy process that you can start via this link: anthonynolan.org/help-save-a-life/join-stem-cell-register

My fundraising target is £40 because that is how much it costs to add each potential lifesaver to the stem cell register. By donating to this fundraiser you will be helping Anthony Nolan to continue its fight in saving the lives of people with blood cancer.

Thank you for reading this far! And thank you for anything you contribute, we are grateful for all donations and no amount is ever too small :)

Newcastle Marrow is a part of the network of lifesaving students who work with the blood cancer charity, Anthony Nolan. There are over 50 Marrow groups, with hundreds of student volunteers (like us!) in universities across the country, who are all working towards one thing - saving the lives of people with blood cancer. Every 14 minutes someone in the UK is diagnosed with blood cancer. For someone with blood cancer, a stem cell transplant could be their last chance of survival. 

At Anthony Nolan, we match incredible people willing to donate their stem cells, to people with blood cancer who are in desperate need of a lifesaving transplant. Marrow now recruit one in four people who go on to donate stem cells, which means hundreds of lives are potentially saved by Marrow's incredible work.
