The team at Howden Insurance in Shrewsbury are taking on a challenge during the month of May to raise funds for The Anthony Nolan Trust. This is a cause which is very close to all of our hearts, our colleague Tom recently had to have a stem cell transplant and The Anthony Nolan Trust have been there to find a much needed donor and support him along the way.

The team in Shrewsbury are now all going to walk the equivalent distance from our office in the Shrewsbury town centre to the Royal Infirmary in Manchester where Tom had his treatment and back again during the month of May. This equated to the team walking a combined 7 million steps to reach their goal, in an effort to raise money for this incredible charity.

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.
