Blues Against Blood Cancer was set up to try to inspire football fans and young people to register as potential lifesaving stem cell donors when we heard that the young son of Everton legend, Gary Stevens, needed a stem cell transplant to save his life.

Earlier this year, Everton Football College invited BABC into the college to deliver a number of presentations to their students, allowing them to make an informed choice about registering as potential stem cell donors.

Our staff have chosen to run the Everton 10k to help raise funds for this vital cause.

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.
