Guy Lupton hasn't added a story.
When we found that Lucy needed a bone marrow transplant it came as a complete shock, but she was lucky in a way because her sister is a 100% match and happy to be the donor.
Most people are not so lucky and we are striving to promote the fact that the bone marrow registers in the UK and around the world are in desperate need of more potential donors.
Every 20 minutes someone in the UK is diagnosed with a blood cancer such as Leukaemia, Lymphoma or Myeloma, so you can imagine the numbers around the world.
If you are in the UK you can find out more, and register at:
www.anthonynolan.org/8-ways-you-could-save-life/donate-your-stem-cells/apply-join-our-register
or
or
www.nhsbt.nhs.uk/bonemarrow/index.asp
And that costs you nothing!
However, funds are also needed to process the registrations as it costs between £40 and £100 per donor at Anthony Nolan or Delete Blood Cancer. So can't register for whatever reason, or it's just not for you, perhaps you could donate towards the costs of recruitment so the charities can use the rest of their money for other developments.
Any amount would be fantastic, from a few pounds to hundreds of pounds - we are not fussy! We are initially hoping to raise £1,000 - but there's no time limit so help us smash that and make a change.
There's alot of time, money and awareness for many cancers - but blood cancer seems to have a low profile - and in many cases it can actually be cured with a bone marrow transplant!
Thank you in advance for any help you can give, whether it's financial or by registering as a bone marrow donor. You could literally save a life!
