A new film launched today by Anthony Nolan is calling on young men aged 16-30 to join the stem cell register and #BeALifesaver. 

The campaign, fronted by potential lifesaver and professional basketball player, Lamar Roberts, calls on young men to do something amazing for someone with blood cancer. By joining the Anthony Nolan register and possibly donating their stem cells young men could, potentially, give somebody in need of a transplant a second chance of life. 

Anthony Nolan’s chief executive, Henny Braund, has made the following statement in response to the news of John Underwood’s death:

"We are deeply saddened to hear news of John’s death; our thoughts go out to his family and friends at this difficult time.
