#MarshallsMatch

21-year-old Marshall needs to find his match – urgently.

You or someone you know could help give those like Marshall a second chance at life.

21-year-old Marshall was diagnosed with a rare form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma in 2023 – but recently his disease has become highly aggressive, meaning he needs a stem cell transplant urgently.      

Devastatingly, Marshall has been told there are no matches worldwide on the stem cell register for him. He and his family, including his sister Leah, are asking anyone eligible to sign up to the stem cell register so that others won’t have to be told there are no matching donors to give their loved one another chance to live.   

Leah and Marshall have said that anyone could be a lifesaving match – not just for Marshall, but for many others in similar positions, like 9-year-old Amilah. They urge everyone to spread the word and sign up, as everyone should have the chance to fight against cancer.

Make a donation

A gift of £5 a month helps build a stem cell register that gives everyone the best chance of survival.

A gift of £10 a month helps lifesaving transplants to happen – giving as many people, like Marshall, as possible a second chance of life.

A gift of £15 a month could help pay for our umbilical cord collection programme – making little lifesavers of babies only minutes old!

£15 goes a long way to helping our scientists conduct ground-breaking research that will save lives over the next 50 years.

£40 could sign up a new lifesaving stem cell donor who could go on to save a life like Marshall's.

£90 could pay for three hours of invaluable support from a post-transplant nurse for patients and families.

We found out that there is no match for a stem cell transplant that is crucial for Marshall’s survival. I only have one little brother and I’m hopeful that he will stick around for the long run.

Marshall's sister, Leah
