Leukaemia & Myeloma Research UK invites people to support World Cord Blood Day 2018
THURSDAY 15th November is World Cord Blood Day which highlights the importance of cord blood and its benefits to treat over 80 different diseases, such as leukaemia, lymphoma and sickle cell anaemia.
To raise awareness of the benefits of cord blood and cord blood transplants, Leukaemia & Myeloma Research UK is organising a number of initiatives throughout World Cord Blood Day, and they need your help!
The charity was established to tackle cancer of the blood and specialises in stem cell therapy. Founded in 2015, it actively supports and raises awareness of stem cell research into blood cancers, and offers qualifying families a fully-funded stem cell storage service called the Model Cell Biobank.
Share your stories
On World Cord Blood Day, the charity will be sharing stories from people who have received cord blood transplants on the hour throughout the day to raise awareness of the benefits.
