Group of volunteers passionate about #bloodcancer. We aim to raise awareness and recruit potential blood stem cell donors for @DKMS UK













🎥 Watch the heartwarming moment when 8-year-old Jacob meets his lifesaver, Lorna! At just 19 months old, Jacob was diagnosed with a rare, life-threatening condition. His only hope was a #stemcell donation via an anonymous #DKMS donor. This is their story. ❤️











Exciting update: We're delighted to share that baby Francis is showing 100% donor cells in his blood, meaning his body has accepted his #stemcell transplant. 🙌 Thanks to a match found on the register, Francis now has a chance at a future filled with many more milestones. ❤️

Recently, out of the blue I got a call from @DKMS_uk - the charity that helps people with blood cancer. I'd forgotten that 5yrs ago I did a cheek swab... but the call was to say I was a possible match for someone in urgent need of stem cell or bone marrow transplant. It's a chance to help someone survive who wouldn't otherwise. Unfortunately, having just been through the next stage, I've been ruled out of donating. So to turn that into a positive, I wanted to suggest if you fancy registering to be a donor, if age 18 - 55 you can do it here... dkms.org.uk - and hopefully one of you may be the match that actually saves a life.
