DKMS’ Big Cheekender! — 27-28 September 2025

September is Blood Cancer Awareness Month, a chance for us to shout from the rooftops about the stem cell register!

The Big Cheekender — 27-28 September 2025

This year, we are organising the DKMS Big Cheekender on the last weekend in September. We want to organise as many swabbing events as we can all over the country, to register as many potential lifesavers as possible.

Ever thought about holding an event to bring your local community together? Do you want to hold an event with your local sports team? Do you have friends or family that have no idea what the stem cell register is? This is your chance to think outside the box!

Get involved

Our Big Cheekender welcome pack will help promote your event, plus other cheeky goodies to make sure this September ends with a bang.

Up and down the country we’ll have supporters, patients, donors, families, schools and workplaces organising their own donor registration events– get involved, join the movement, get cheeky!

Help us find more donors

Everyone who needs a blood stem cell transplant must find their potential donor. Can you help?
