You or someone you know could help give those like Asia a second chance at life.
27-year-old Asia, from Deansgate, was diagnosed with stage four Hodgkin lymphoma, a type of blood cancer, in 2023.
After receiving chemotherapy Asia was told that she was in remission in April 2024, but her symptoms returned, and doctors confirmed that her cancer had relapsed in June 2024. She has been told that a stem cell transplant may be her best chance of survival.
Asia is half Somalian and half Moroccan; her mixed heritage means she has a more unique tissue type which can make it harder to find a matching stem cell donor. That’s why she’s calling on all healthy 16–30-year-olds to join the Anthony Nolan stem cell register and potentially save a life.
Please join the stem cell register if you want to make a difference and save someone’s life. I think it's a blessing to save someone.
