Team Aspen are cycling the RideLondon-Essex 100 on the 29th of May to raise funds for Anthony Nolan, the UK's blood cancer charity and bone marrow register.

Anthony Nolan is the charity that makes lifesaving connections between patients in need and incredible strangers ready to donate their stem cells, giving hope and a second chance of life to thousands of blood cancer and blood disorder patients.

Anthony Nolan is Team Aspen chosen charity and is very close to our heart's as it was from the Anthony Nolan register that a donor was found for Sophie Harkins. Sophie received a bone marrow transplant on the 9th of October 2013, and her progress has been significant.

£40 could help recruit a new potential lifesaver to the stem cell register – giving patients more hope of finding the matching donor they urgently need

Joining the Anthony Nolan register is as good as a donation; please visit www.anthonynolan.org.
