House decorated with Christmas lights
The Mustafa family's house decorated in Christmas lights

My Dad started this when my little brother Alex was diagnosed with leukaemia at the age of 4, and Anthony Nolan helped find him a match on the register.”

“My Dad vowed after the transplant that he would use the Christmas lights as a way of raising money for Anthony Nolan every year.”

“All we hope is that they continue to bring joy to people who have enjoyed them for years, people who are experiencing them for the first time and anyone who might just need a little something to make them smile for a second!
