Amy desperately needs a donor within the next week or so. Are you eligible?

There are four main donor registries.You only need to register to oneas the information from all registers is collated when looking for a match.

1. The DKMS Registry (age restriction is 18 to 55 years):www.dkms.org.uk/en/register-now

1. The Anthony Nolan Registry (age restriction is 16 to 30 years):www.anthonynolan.org/8-ways-you-could-save-life/donate-your-stem-cells

1. The Welsh Bone Marrow Registry (age restriction is 17 to 31 years):www.welsh-blood.org.uk/giving-blood/bone-marrow-donor-registry/

1. The NHS British Bone Marrow Registry (eligibility determined when you attend to give a blood donation):www.bbmr.co.uk/joining-the-register/

Thank you ❤

I’m on the DKMS register and I also give blood so I expect I’m on the NHS one too.

Just registered.... so important! Thank you for the links

My swab kit is back in the post today. Super simple to do.

Received mine and sent it off today. So quick and easy to do.

Already on DKMS and assume would be contacted if a match for anyone
Cheeky bump!

Registered on DKMS - I thought I’d registered on Anthony Nolan years ago but defo never had swan or blood test so assume I didn’t actually complete it - ashamed that took me so long. Well done for reminding us to be good people 😊

Bump ❤️

Meant to say I’m also registered with DKMS and was very easy to do.

I didn't think I was eligible as I've had blood transfusions but DKMS said I was fine. I registered with them last week, no hassle at all.

I'm on the DKMS Registry. Bumping this for you.

On register because of expats dd.

Just to say I by NHL and a stem cell may be somewhere on my treatment horizon, so please register. Registration is simple, and even donation nowadays is fairly painless, not much different from a long blood donation.

Just wanted to come back and thank everyone who read this and signed up, or inspired someone else to.

Amy, who inspired me to make this post originally, has thankfully been found a match ❤

That’s wonderful news. All the best to Amy on this next part of the journey.

Yay!
