Week 11 - Anthony Nolan Trust

I've chosen John Underwood's JustGiving campaign because, quite honestly, the blurb is so wonderfully written.  A few weeks ago John was diagnosed with a late-stage lymphoma and, in his own words, is currently trying not to die.  His JustGiving page is here - please read it as I can't do it justice on here.

The Anthony Nolan Trust works to save lives by finding matching bone marrow and stem cell donors.  30% of people who need a transplant can find one in their own family but the other 70% rely on strangers who may be in the database.  It costs around £100 to add each person to their database so they have to be strict on who they add  Joining is easy - sadly they only accept people under 30 so I can't join myself.  You simply register and send a saliva sample.  They do some amazing work and it really does save lives.
