Anthony Nolan
Everyday Anthony Nolan gives three people a second chance at life.
We work Together With Anthony Nolan to help raise awareness of and diversify the Anthony Nolan stem cell donor register. We work together to ensure that more people from ethnic minority backgrounds are on the register which gives everyone an equal chance at finding a match if they are to fall ill.
This month, we're highlighting the amazing work they do in their labs to help patients and donors make a connection and a match. Stay tuned for a video dropping in during Black History Month this October where Elisha and James take us behind the scenes to find out more!
