For forty two years the charity Anthony Nolan has been saving the lives of those who have blood cancer or who have blood disorders. They do so by matching those individuals who are willing to donate their blood stem cells or bone marrow with those in need of them and who are in need of the life saving transplant. They connect three people everyday to a life saving match and conduct world-class research into stem matching and transplants.
