“I didn’t think twice about proceeding with the stem cell transplant. I felt as if this was my chance to give something back that could really help someone and set a good example to my boy.” George joined the stem cell register in 2022 after a close friend was diagnosed with aplastic anaemia - “I remember how concerned I was at the time and wished there was something I could do to help them. Then in July 2025 I became a father to my beautiful son, which gave me a different perspective on how precious life is and how I’d feel if he ever fell ill.” A few years later, George got the call to help a stranger in need. “I arrived at 9am, by 2:30pm the transplant was complete. I couldn’t believe how painless and straightforward it was - it was like giving blood in a big comfy bed for five hours being waited on hand and foot.” “Two days later I received a follow up call to tell me my stem cells had been received. This whole experience has been absolutely wonderful and it was my absolute privilege to be able to help someone in need, I look forward to being able to do it again.” A huge thank you to George for donating his stem cells to a complete stranger. 💚 If you’re aged 16-30, joining the stem cell register is quick and easy. You might never get the call to donate but if you do, you could save someone’s life. Just like George did.
