Donating stem cells with Anthony Nolan

Today I had the total privilege of donating stem cells to a stranger, with the hope that it will help them fight blood cancer. I joined the register in 2017 after my brother Zach donated and to be honest, never thought anything would happen (only 1 in 800 who join the register end up donating). But when I got the call 6 weeks ago to say I could be a match for someone, it was a no brainer that my answer was yes. I cannot urge you enough to join the register - after a 2 minute application and a quick mouth swab you're lifesaver ready - I won't pretend today wasn't uncomfortable at times, but what's a few hours of discomfort to save a life? Link is in my bio to sign up. If you can't register or want to do more, I've decided to host a ONE TIME email marketing workshop in September in aid of @anthonynolancharity - the fantastic charity who facilitate this work. For a £10+ donation you can join me for a 90 minute live workshop on all things email marketing - a topic I'm asked about ALL the time. All the info is under the 'workshop' highlight - honestly it's so valuable for all small businesses and you'll be saving lives whilst you learn! I've got a little video of my experience coming soon but until then, a final THANK YOU to each of you. Your encouraging messages, personal stories and silly Q's this week have meant so much. I'm so grateful for this little corner of the internet and truly believe we can make an impact✨
