A little about the wonderful work of Anthony Nolan below - these guys provided my dad with his best chance of survival, for which I am eternally grateful. Without emergency support lifesaving transplants could never make it to the patients.
Anthony Nolan’s world-leading stem cell register, groundbreaking cell and gene therapy research and expertise in stem cell transplants means they 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, they won’t stop until they’ve uncovered the lifesaving potential of the cells inside us all, and every patient can survive and thrive.
Thank you <3
