We at Race Against Blood Cancer are incredibly thankful for the dedication and hard work of the Hex Group Apprentices who participated in the Tough Mudder event on Saturday. 🏃🏽‍♂️

Their commitment to training and raising an impressive £6900 for Race Against Blood Cancer is truly inspiring. It's gestures like these that make a significant difference in our fight against blood cancer. 🎉🎉🎉🎉

We caught up with Apprentice Support Lead Grace. She said "They are all still recovering – but had a wonderful (albeit muddy!) day. They got through the course as a team, stayed together and supported each other the whole way around and it was amazing to watch"

Thank you to everyone involved for supporting such an important cause! ❤️

You could save the life of someone like Dan
Dan is desperately searching for his lifesaving stem cell donor

After a routine parkrun in Lincolnshire, Dan, 31, noticed a strange rash on his legs. Days later, he found himself in hospital needing an urgent platelet transfusion and was diagnosed with the life-threatening condition aplastic anaemia. Now he needs a stem cell transplant to save his life.

Dan is appealing for people to sign up to the stem cell register. ‘You don’t need to be scared of the process,’ he says. ‘You do a swab. You might be called in. It’s a day or two in hospital, and you could save someone’s life.’

Could you, or someone you know, help save the life of someone like Dan?

Patients like Dan need people aged between 16 and 30 to join the Anthony Nolan stem cell register.

Over 30? You can join the DKMS register until you’re 55.

Sign up now at https://www.raceagainstbloodcancer.com
– it’s quick, free and easy. It might just save a life.
