Nine-year-old Heidi is searching for her match

You could give someone like Heidi another chance to live

Nine-year-old Heidi from Sheffield was first diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) in 2022. In November last year, after twenty-seven months of gruelling treatment, she finally got to ring the end-of-treatment bell. But two days before her ninth birthday, after feeling unwell, doctors confirmed Heidi had relapsed and may need a stem cell transplant one day.

A gift of £5 a month helps build a stem cell register that gives everyone the best chance of survival.

A gift of £10 a month helps lifesaving transplants to happen – giving as many people, like Heidi, as possible a second chance of life.

A gift of £15 a month could help pay for our umbilical cord collection programme – making little lifesavers of babies only minutes old!

£15 goes a long way to helping our scientists conduct ground-breaking research that will save lives over the next 50 years.

£40 could sign up a new lifesaving stem cell donor who could go on to save a life like Heidi's.

£90 could pay for three hours of invaluable support from a post-transplant nurse for patients and families.

We just want it to work. We want it to be the best chance possible. Not just for her – there are other children, other people waiting for transplants as well. I just want to get as many people on the register as possible.

Heidi's mum, Lucy
