Stand with Heidi

Help save children like Heidi

When 9-year-old Heidi's leukaemia returned earlier this year, her family’s world was ripped apart. She is receiving treatment, and may need a stem cell transplant. Heidi’s story has already inspired hundreds to join the stem cell register. But right now, so many families like hers still need help.

This festive season, you can give the most precious gift: a second chance at life.

By making a money donation to DKMS, you’ll help add more potential lifesavers to the stem cell register, giving children like Heidi a chance at survival and families a chance at hope.

Heidi, in her mum's words

Heidi’s mum Lucy shares: “She’s gentle, kind, and full of life. She loves to dance, swim, and play with her friends. She has the biggest heart always thinking of others, always ready to help. To us, she’s everything.”
