Aged 16-30?
Sign up to save a life
By joining the Anthony Nolan Stem Cell register you could be a match for someone waiting for a stem cell transplant. You could be their best chance at survival.
They might not look like you, sound like you, live near you.
But you might have a matching tissue type.
And you might be able to save their life.
Yes you!
Anthony Nolan is the charity matching amazing strangers willing to donate their stem cells with patients desperately in need of lifesaving transplants. And it’s something we can only do thanks to the young people on our register of potential donors. It’s people like them that mean we give four people another chance to live every day.
Meet Reuben and Charlie
At 17 both were diagnosed with the rare blood disorder aplastic anaemia. Both told by doctors, “you'll never fight again”.
Reuben's match didn't exist on the register, so his dad stepped in as donor. Charlies did, but the wait was long. Eventually, Anthony Nolan found a stranger in Germany who gave him a second chance at life. Their transplants came within three weeks of each other.
Both Reuben and Charlie were determined to get back in the ring.
Today, Reuben is back fighting with 10 wins from 12 fights and 'Miracle' on his shorts.
Charlie won his debut fight and is getting ready for his next.
Save someone like Charlie and Reuben. Join the register today.
Spread the word
The more people who know about Anthony Nolan’s work and our register of potential stem cell donors, the more people who’ll be able to find their lifesaving match. It’s as simple as that.
We need people like you to share our message, support our fundraising, join our register. We need people like you to be part of our lifesaving work. Yes, you.
Get involved today and follow us on socials.
At school or university?
At Anthony Nolan we are lucky to have a committed and passionate network of volunteers who help us add young people to the register. The younger the donor, the better the outcome for patients so we have teams that work in schools, colleges and universities to tell people how they could sign up to save a life.
If you know a school that would be interested in finding out more, get in touch with our Hero project.
And if you are at university find out more about joining one of our student Marrow groups.
