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.

I have been on the register since 1994 and became a close match in 2002. Tissue type is a world away from blood group so it's important that as many people that can, give a wee bit of blood to get tissue typed, and possibly save the life of a poor soul living with blood cancer.
