Curtis Pritchard Instagram – Recently, @AJ11ace and @curtispritchard12 , @smileycfa ambassadors, met Julia and Nathan, who have a unique bond – they share the same DNA!
When Julia was diagnosed with AML – a form of blood cancer – Nathan received a call to say that he was a match for a stranger, and donated his stem cells, not knowing who they were going to. Now, Julia and Nathan are close friends, and recently discovered that Nathan was actually working just next door to the hospital, where Julia was receiving her transplant!
Had Nathan not signed up to the stem cell register, Julia would not have received her lifesaving stem cell transplant, and she may not have recovered.
Now, we’re calling on all Londoners to consider becoming a lifesaver, just like Nathan. There are 1,930,344 people aged between 16 and 30 in London – and if we recruited just 0.1% of these that would be almost 2000 potential lifesavers on the register!
We want to give every young person in London the chance to become a proud LonDONOR. The more potential donors we have, the better chance we have of unlocking a cure for people just like Julia.
