Top ideas

  • Celebrate with us on your birthday – instead of receiving gifts, you could ask your family and friends to donate to Anthony Nolan. Or host a birthday party and collect donations from guests on entry.
  • Invite Anthony Nolan to be part of your wedding – firstly, congratulations on your engagement! Order wedding favours from Anthony Nolan or ask your guests to donate instead of buying you a wedding present.
  • Mark a special date – whatever date is important to you, such as an anniversary, you can make a big deal about it! You could hold a gala dinner, a charity auction or black-tie ball.
  • Get festive with your party – hold a Christmas, New Year’s party or any other day you’re celebrating!
  • Celebrate your transplant birthday - people mark their transplant birthday in lots of different ways - from throwing a party, to taking on a once in a lifetime adventure. Mark the day in a way that is special for you and that will live long in the memory.

Top tips

Ready to celebrate? A great place to start is to set up your own JustGiving page and share a link with everyone you’re inviting.

You can also very simply set up a Facebook birthday fundraiser to give all your friends, family and connections on social media an easy way to donate!

My younger sister Fran recently underwent treatment for Hodgkin's Lymphoma and now thankfully she is in remission. As part of her treatment, she had two stem cell transplants; one from her own cells & one from a donor who was sourced through Anthony Nolan.

We as a family are eternally grateful to Anthony Nolan. Myself and my now husband Tim decided we would rather any wedding donations that people wanted to give us went to Anthony Nolan so the money could be used to help save other people's lives as they saved my sister's.

We created a JustGiving page and attached the link via email with our wedding invitations. It's our way of saying thank you in the hope that other families will benefit.
