Welcome to our London marathon team page! Go #TeamDKMS!
Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
DKMS is an international non-profit organisation dedicated to the fight against blood cancer and blood disorders by creating awareness; recruiting bone marrow donors to provide a second chance at life; raising funds to match donor registration costs; supporting the improvement of therapies through research; and supporting patients from day one of their diagnoses.
There are over 6 million people registered as donors worldwide, but that's not enough to help every patient in need of a transplant. 6 out of 10 patients won't find a compatible donor.
The money that we receive in donations is used to cover the cost of registering new potential blood stem cell donors
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.
