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.

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.

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?

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.
