loki679 Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Hey Folks, Originally posted in the Sunderland thread but probably deserves it's own attention. A young lad needs our help to beat this illness. Check the links and register to give a swab and see if you're compatible. Under 30s: https://www.anthonynolan.org/ Over 30s: https://www.dkms.org.uk/register-now https://www.facebook.com/189729641060317/posts/5974221115944445 Let's do what we can.

Dancing Brave Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 I'm over 55 so I'm not eligible. However, next pay day I'll be sending some money to help that way. Howay lads click on the link, see if you can help. Also pass on the link to all your mates and see if they can help as well. Wishing Leland all the best.

Big River Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 I'm already registered with dkms, and I had the privilege of donating stem cells to someone with blood cancer a few years ago. as an organisation they were absolutely brilliant to deal with. but I won't lie, it's not an easy process if you get selected as a donor. in order to produce enough stem cells, you need to inject yourself beforehand for a few weeks. not sure exactly what happens, but it bloody knacks your ribs/back for a while. that being said, fuck all compared to the person at the other end of the process. which is what it's all about. so get registered folks! edit: funnily enough it was this little lad in his toon top trying to save his Dad that made me sign up. the power of football eh?

Coffee_Johnny Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Good cause, mate. I’m already doing a sponsored pseudo channel swim (ie not all 21 miles at once and in a pool) for MacMillan so will just stick with that contribution for this year.

Tsunami Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 Great cause, hope a match is found. Like a good few others, I’m too old apparently. How’d that happen? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 A young local lad near me needed help a few months ago and I signed up. Thankfully he got a match. Hope this young lad does too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 I was registered with Anthony Nolan and was once a match for someone. But they found a more suitable donor last minute. Won’t lie, was kind of relieved, as it sounds pretty painful. Whilst also being fully prepared to help, if required. Over 30 now and the info I submitted before was many years ago. So I have re-registered with DKMS, just in case. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
