Loughborough Marrow

Hero week has come to a close 😭 However there is nothing to be down about as across the UK #Marrow groups signed up 186 potential lifesavers! Thank you to the 4 new stem cell registers from #Loughborough who put us onto the leaderboard💜 Remember you can sign up at any point!

Here's a short video detailing how important, and easy it is to sign up to the stem cell register. Please consider signing up or donating via these links💙 anthonynolan.org/LboroMarrow justgiving.com/campaign/lough… Note: Recent figures indicate that men now make up 18% of the register

How it started: How it's going:

Can you save a life? Evie is 8; she has aplastic anaemia and needs a bone marrow transplant to survive. Please register for a swab kit to join the donor register. Under age 30? Register @AnthonyNolan anthonynolan.org/8-ways-you-cou… Over 30? Register @DKMS_uk dkms.org.uk/en/evie

Today is #WorldMarrowDonorDay! There are over 37 million potential lifesavers on stem cell registers worldwide ready and waiting to help. If you’re one of them, you’re part of a global lifesaving mission, and for that we really want to say thank you. #WMDD2020

💥Loughborough Marrow needs you!💥 We’re a really relaxed society where you can volunteer as much or as little as you’d like. Between our fundraising and life-saving work, we also hold regular socials throughout the year! Check out our Facebook page for more information 💙

Today is the Communities vs Blood Cancer day of action, aiming to raise awareness of the need to recruit more stem cell donors - particularly people from minority ethnic backgrounds, as well as young men aged 16-30 - to give patients the best possible chance of survival. #CvsBC

MEET THE COMMITTEE Finally, we have our fantastic treasurer Max. If you're in good health and aged 16-30, please consider signing up to join the stem cell register today: anthonynolan.org/LboroMarrow

MEET THE COMMITTEE Next up is our wonderful vice president, Charlotte. For more info about the amazing work of @AnthonyNolan over the years, check out: anthonynolan.org/about-us/our-h…

MEET THE COMMITTEE First up is this year's president, Iestyn. Stay tuned over the next few days to meet the rest of our lovely committee!

@JaneMHunt as a member of Loughborough Marrow, a student group supporting the work of @AnthonyNolan, please support the #CvsBC2020 campaign on 9 September. With your help, we can ensure that every stem cell transplant patient finds the lifesaving donor they need

The coronavirus pandemic has meant that nearly 19,000 fewer people have joined our stem cell register compared to this time last year. Today, we're calling on our amazing register of lifesavers, like Tom here, to help us find more potential lifesaving donors. 👇

Calling all graduating and graduated Marrowers! The fun doesn’t stop when uni does. Find out how you can stay involved by following us on socials, joining our mailing list and registering as alumni with @AnthonyNolan. More info: linktr.ee/marrowalumni.

Today, shielding measures across the UK have been lifted. Understandably a lot of patients are concerned about what this'll mean for them and their health. We are taking part in #ShowMeYourMask to show our understanding and support for those feeling concerned today @AnthonyNolan

Our work doesn't stop during lockdown and we need to keep recruiting potential lifesavers! If you are 16-30, in good health and weigh more than 50kg, sign up to the stem cell register today!

Day 9 of our challenge, 175 miles down! WE'VE REACHED OUR TARGET! With your help, we have raised £709 for Anthony Nolan, but, we are not stopping there! The campaign continues to see how many miles we can clock up before Monday! Remember, you can donate via the link in our bio!

Day 6 of the challenge, 86 miles down. £615 raised for @AnthonyNolan we can’t wait to carry on 💙🚴🏼‍♀️🏃🏽‍♀️

Over the first two days, we have completed over 20 miles and want to keep our momentum going! Keep up to date with our campaign across all of our social media channels - on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram

Since our donation link was posted just over 24 hours ago, the Loughborough Miles for Marrow campaign has raised over £430. That is over double our original target. We cannot thank everyone enough for their generosity and kindness at this difficult time 💙

OUR MILES FOR MARROW CAMPAIGN BEGINS TODAY! Loughborough Marrow committee will be running 175 miles to raise vital funds for Anthony Nolan during the Coronavirus epidemic. If you can, donate some money and help us to save lives 💙 justgiving.com/fundraising/lb…
