How it all began

Anthony Nolan’s education programme is the legacy of a young journalist who died from leukaemia.

Adrian Sudbury believed that more lives could be saved if young people knew the importance of stem cell, blood and organ donation. He campaigned for better education about donation and presented a petition to the government in 2008, just before he lost his battle with cancer. His vision became reality in 2009, when the education programme was launched as a pilot scheme. It is now run and funded by Anthony Nolan, working in collaboration with NHS Blood and Transplant.
