TV presenter Joe joined the Anthony Nolan register in April 2011, when he reported to the nation on the story of three year old Ella Paul meeting her donor, Julie Healy, for the BBC's The One Show..bmp.aspx)
“I'm really keen to support Anthony Nolan. My dad needed a stem cell transplant many years ago so I understand what a difference the charity can make.
"Most people probably won’t think about how they can help, as I didn’t, until a blood cancer touches their lives. Yet I truly believe it’s worth thinking about now. And that’s not just because it could be you relying on finding a donor for a lifesaving transplant one day. It's also because there are very few opportunities in our busy, hectic lives when you can do something so quick, so simple, so straightforward and yet make the ultimate difference for another person.
"For me it’s that simple and that’s why I decided to join the register.”
