Jack and Gary's story

Everton legend Gary Stevens is supporting DKMS to help boost the number of lifesaving stem cell donors.

Stevens was prompted to take action after his four-year-old son, Jack, was diagnosed with juvenile myelomonocytic leukaemia, a rare blood cancer that affects young children.

Former Blues defender Stevens is encouraging as many people as possible to turn up and be swabbed at the clinic to help children like Jack: “There are little kids all over the world who are desperately in need of a match for their stem cells, and I know that Evertonians will get behind this event, so please give your time and you might find yourself a superhero!”

If you are aged 17-55 and in good general health, you can register online for your home swab kit.
