I couldn't cure my son, but the kindness of strangers could.
Holly, whose son Rupert's life was saved by a stem cell transplant.
Fund a lifesaver
Aged 31+? Your support can save lives
If you’re aged 31+, you can give patients the best possible chance of life by donating money to help to add the best possible donors to our stem cell register. We recruit people aged 16–30 to our stem cell register. Here’s why:
- It’s driven by science. Our research shows that donors aged 16–30 provide better outcomes for patients, so we focus our time, energy and money on recruiting these potential donors.
- It could save more lives. As we know doctors are more likely to choose younger donors, we need to use our limited resources wisely to fill our register with as many people aged 16–30 as possible, ready and waiting to save a life.
We want to give patients the very best chance of life. And that’s why we need your vital support. You could fund someone's lifesaver today. Without you, there is no cure.
By giving money to Anthony Nolan today, you can help add another potential donor to our stem cell register, giving patients more chance of finding the best possible match. You can fund someone's lifesaver.
£10 a month could help make more transplants happen, giving more people a second chance of life.
How your donation will help
Without people like you supporting Anthony Nolan’s work, our life would be very different.
Holly, Rupert's mum
When someone like Rupert needs a stem cell transplant, this really is their last chance of survival. All other treatment options have been exhausted - Anthony Nolan is their only hope.
But hope is exactly what you could give them. For every £40 raised, we can recruit and add another potential donor to our stem cell register, giving patients more chance of finding the best possible match.
Without you, there is no cure.
Thanks to Billy, the selfless 27-year-old man from the UK that Anthony Nolan found, they gave my son his life back. That's why I want to raise funds and awareness for the amazing work that they do. To give everyone that needs one a match to save their life. We were the lucky ones.
Holly, Rupert's mum
