Hey everyone! Alana and Libby of besties_in_medicine here…

As we have moved to opposite parts of the country to start our careers as Doctors, our way of meeting up is through running races! What better race to do than London Marathon in green scrubs, for a charity that has been so important to us during our time at university!

We look forward to raising awareness of blood cancers, stem cell transplants and importantly encouraging more young people to sign up to the stem cell register.

Anthony Nolan’s world-leading stem cell register, groundbreaking cell and gene therapy research and expertise in stem cell transplants means we currently help four patients a day in need of a transplant, giving more people another chance to live. But we know we can, and must, do more. Driven by patients, backed by stem cell donors, powered by science, and with your support, we won’t stop until we’ve uncovered the lifesaving potential of the cells inside us all, and every patient can survive and thrive.
