The family of one of our younger students is currently supporting a family member who is in desperate need of a stem cell / bone marrow donor match.

They are working closely with the charity www.dkms.org.uk organising events and raising awareness trying to attract more donors onto the register with the view of helping their family member, and the several thousand other patients (mainly children between 1 and 5 years of age) find that life saving donor match.

They organised a donor registration today, but you can also register online www.dkms.org.uk.

You can find more information about the charity in the attached leaflet. (Please note, if you are reading this via email, you will need to log into the VLE to access the attachment.)
