Hi and welcome! Since 1992, the Sue Harris Trust has been helping patients with blood cancer find a suitably-matched stem cell donor.
Inspired by the drive and zest that Sue displayed when searching for her own donor, we follow her wish in spreading the message that stem-cell donation is simple and can save another person’s life. So let’s start that journey……
The ‘Save a Life Party’ - Bank Holiday Monday 25 May, 7pm
Join Jewish youth movements and students for the great ‘Save a Life Party’. Judge Rinder will host a carousel of celebrities and entertainers including Love Island’s Eyal Booker and comedians Joe Bor, Rachel Creeger and Simon Brodkin. They’re coming together to raise awareness of how a simple swab of your cheek could give someone a second chance of life.
Someone with blood cancer, such as leukaemia, may need to find a stem cell donor with a matching tissue type to save their life. Their ethnicity affects their tissue type – in other words, a Jewish patient is much more likely to find a match from another Jewish person.
During the party, you’ll hear how you can order online your free home-testing kit to take a swab from your mouth, which you then just put in the post using the freepost envelope. Your tissue type will be registered for any current or future patients and one day you could save a life.
Learn all about it and have a lot of fun at the ‘Save A Life Party’. Book your place now at: https://sueharristrust.org/party/
On the day of the party, you’ll receive a link to the event.
See you there!
It costs us £40 to register a new donor on the UK stem cell registry. As a charity, we rely on monetary donations from the public to help cover this cost and greatly appreciate any contribution, no matter how big or small.
If you are unable to register as a potential donor, we would be very grateful if you could consider making a contribution towards the cost of a registration.
