WE often appeal for people to add their names as organ donors, but another equally important list perhaps receives less publicity.
The Anthony Nolan register collates potential bone marrow donors who may be able to help blood cancer patients for whom a transplant is their best hope of a cure.
Patients such as Kevin McDonnell, who today tells us how grateful he is for a transplant from donors he has never met.
Kevin also stresses how important it is for more people to sign up as donors. It’s a simple process and similar to donating blood. Why not be one of them?
