Footballing legend Gary Lineker has lent his support to next week's recruitment event at De Montfort University. He says:
“As an honorary graduate of De Montfort University and a long-term supporter of Anthony Nolan, I’m delighted to see that the two organisations are working together to increase the numbers of donors on the bone marrow register. A bone marrow transplant can be the last chance of survival for someone with blood cancer, but it’s only when you’re faced with it personally and you see the shortage of bone marrow donors available that you realise just how important it is for people to sign up. I’d urge everyone to think about joining the Anthony Nolan register – it could be the difference between life and death for someone with a blood cancer like leukaemia.”
The event will take place on Tuesday 19th March, from 9.30am-4pm, at the Campus Centre, Ground Floor, De Montfort University. If you can't make the event you can sign up online at www.anthonynolan.org.
