Help us give more second chances at life

The difference your donation can make

Dylan's story

When Dylan was eight years old, he was diagnosed with a blood disorder called aplastic anaemia. Thanks to the kindness of a stranger, Dylan received a stem cell transplant and got a second chance at life! He is now thriving and back to being the fun, happy boy he was prior to his diagnosis.

People like Dylan still need your help

Every 14 minutes, someone in the UK is diagnosed with blood cancer or a blood disorder. With your support, we can find stem cell matches for everyone who needs one.

You can give the most precious gift: a second chance at life.

By making a donation to DKMS, you are helping to add more potential lifesavers to the stem cell register, giving children like Dylan hope for the future.
