Bone Marrow Donation - for New Year????

Can I remind everyone who has ever thought about it, that joining the Anthony Nolan Bone Marrow Donor registery would be a really good idea.

We lost my Nephew's brother-in-law to bone marrow cancer over the Christmas period - aged 37, and with two chldren aged 5 and 3.  He was diagnosed a while ago, but when a donor was eventually found, in South Africa, it was too late and the transplant didn't take.  Sadly he lost his fight, but his death may serve as a reminder to those who have been thinking about offering their bone marrow - to get on and register. 

It's not  a pain-free process, but could be one of the best things you've ever done, if your bone marrow could have saved someone like him - a lovely thirty-seven year old doctor, and a father to two beautiful children.
