❤️Inspiring the next generation at Coventry College

This week, Race Against Blood Cancer had the privilege of visiting Coventry College to deliver the Hero Project, encouraging students to learn about stem cell donation and the life-saving impact of joining the stem cell register.

Our Community Engagement Manager, Gemma, delivered an inspiring presentation, sharing powerful information about blood cancer and how young people can potentially become lifesaving matches for patients in need.

Gemma is always incredibly grateful to have the opportunity to share how and why she became involved with Race Against Blood Cancer — a journey that began because of Khaleel, who sadly passed away in 2017 from Blood cancer aged 12 years. Gemma said “Being able to tell Khaleel’s story continues to inspire others and encourages many people to take that important step and sign up to the stem cell register.”

A huge thank you to the students and staff at Coventry College for welcoming us and engaging with such an important cause. Every new sign-up brings hope to patients and families searching for a match. 🫶🏻

You could be someone’s hero.

We would like to thank everyone at Guru Nanak Sikh Gurdwara in Telford for kindly allowing us to host our donor recruitment drive there last Sunday.

Your support, hospitality, and warm welcome made the event possible and helped us connect with community members who are willing to make a life-saving difference.

We are truly grateful for the opportunity to work together and for the generosity shown by everyone who took the time to speak with us and consider becoming a donor.

Thank you again for your support – it means so much. 🙏

Today is International Women’s Day. 💜

At Race Against Blood Cancer, we’re celebrating the strength, compassion, and resilience of women everywhere — including the incredible women who register as stem cell donors and help give patients with blood cancer a second chance at life.

For many people diagnosed with blood cancer, a stem cell transplant is their best hope of survival. But too many patients still struggle to find a matching donor. By joining the stem cell register, you could be the one person in the world who is able to save their life.

Becoming a potential donor is simple — it starts with a quick cheek swab, but it could lead to something life-changing. ⬇️

https://www.raceagainstbloodcancer.com/

This International Women’s Day, we’re encouraging more women to step forward, learn about stem cell donation, and consider joining the register. One small action could mean hope, treatment, and a future for someone facing blood cancer.

Together, we can keep racing towards a world where no one dies from blood cancer because they couldn’t find a donor.

Yesterday we attended the Bromsgrove and Redditch Network networking event in Redditch 🤝

It was a fantastic open-mic style session where organisations took turns to introduce themselves, share what they do, and talk about opportunities to collaborate 🎤

It was a great chance to connect with so many inspiring groups, and we came away with some really positive contacts—especially within the South Asian community 🌍

A big thank you to BARN for organising such a welcoming and well-run event, and for the delicious buffet too! 🍽️👏

We’re looking forward to building on the connections we made and working together in the future. 🙌🏻

Yesterday we attended Coventry University’s Volunteering Fair, working together to make a real difference ❤️

In collaboration with Anthony Nolan’s Marrow group, we were joined by Ray, a student from Warwick University, to raise awareness about stem cell donation and the lifesaving impact it has for people with blood cancer and blood disorders.

It was fantastic to see so many students keen to get involved. We successfully recruited new volunteers for Coventry’s Marrow group and signed up students to the stem cell register — each new registration bringing hope to someone in need.

We’re incredibly grateful for the opportunity to work alongside our partners Anthony Nolan and to strengthen our partnership through events like this. Collaboration like this shows the power of universities and charities coming together for a shared cause.

We look forward to continuing our work with Coventry University and building on this momentum in the future! 🙌

Change happens when we work together.

Yesterday, we were pleased to attend the Blood Cancer Alliance Parliamentary Reception.

It was a brilliant opportunity to connect with partners and MPs who share our vision: a world where everyone has a fair chance to beat blood cancer.

Huge thanks to the Blood Cancer Alliance for hosting. Let’s keep pushing for progress.
