This year our amazing Volunteer Coordinator, Bailey, is getting a tattoo, dying his hair green, and running the Isle of Wight Ultra Marathon to raise awareness and money for Anthony Nolan and the stem cell register!

Southampton Marrow is a part of the network of lifesaving students who work with the blood cancer charity, Anthony Nolan. There are over 50 Marrow groups, with hundreds of student volunteers (like us!) in universities across the country, who are all working towards one thing - saving the lives of people with blood cancer.

Every 14 minutes someone in the UK is diagnosed with blood cancer. For someone with blood cancer, a stem cell transplant could be their last chance of survival. At Anthony Nolan, we match incredible people willing to donate their stem cells, to people with blood cancer who are in desperate need of a lifesaving transplant. However, it costs £40 to add each new potentially life-saving donor to the stem cell register.
