Subject - Appeal for more African Caribbean blood and bone marrow donors

Posted : (Monday 1st August 2005 ) By - michelle (Registered User)Currently, there are approximately 16000 BME people on the UK bone marrow registers. To make this representative of the community and to give black cancer sufferers a chance of life, at least 45,000 BME people need to register in the UK.
A number of blood registration clinics have taken place in Manchester, to enable potential donors to be identified. This is an ongoing process, and if you are interested in finding out more please contact Elaine Mills at Support4Progress@aol.com or on 07947 594728
