Yoseph memorial fundraiser for ANTHONY NOLAN
As most of you know, Yoseph had a bone marrow transplant in 2009 that was life changing. It saved his life and this charity is one that was so dear to him. Finding the exact match for a bone marrow transplant is difficult.
"If there are more people on the register, we can increase the odds for everyone in need of a better match. Unfortunately a lot of patients (such as those with leukaemia) never find a match suitable to them. As such, please consider joining the stem cell register. It's normally relatively pain-free to donate and the younger you are, the better". - Yoseph
Luckily Yoseph was able to find the correct match and his procedure was successful. Raising awareness to sign up to the bone marrow register and raising money to register even more people would have meant so much to Yoseph.
We have honoured his wish and set up a charity donation in his name. Thank you all and we know he was loved by so many.

£15 would go a long way to helping Anthony Nolan scientists conduct groundbreaking research that will save lives for years to come.
£30 could pay for an hour of a specialist post-transplant nurse's time - someone who offers invaluable support to patients and their families.
£40 could add a donor to the stem cell register.
All money donated will go directly to the Anthony Nolan charity.
N.B. this fundraiser has been set up by Yoseph's close friends with the support of Yoseph's mum.
