BE INSPIREDIdeas and tips on how to fund our lifesaving work

You probably already know that we save the lives of people with blood cancers or disorders who are in desperate need of bone marrow transplants.

What you might not know, however,is that for every person we can find the right donor for, there’s another we can’t. Which is why your help is so important.

By raising money, you’ll help make sure we find more precious donors, make more precious matches – and save even more precious lives.

And the great thing is, however much time you can spare, whatever you’re in to, there’s a way you can get those lifesaving pounds pouring in.

Got any questions?Then we’d love to answer them. Get in touch on 0303 303 3002 or [email protected].
