Anthony Nolan welcomes an increase in young men on the bone marrow register. Men aged 16-30 now make up 14% of the register, up from just 11% last month.
Ann O’Leary, Head of Register Development at Anthony Nolan, says, ‘Having more young men on the register makes a huge impact on our ability to provide the best donors for patients in need of bone marrow transplants. It’s a huge challenge to change the percentage of any group on the register and we are very pleased with this significant progress.’
