I’m going to show you how you can save a life by doing three things today. Saving a life sounds pretty dramatic doesn’t it? However, in this Blog, I’ll be sharing simple tools that’ll help in less than 2 minutes.
How YOU can help save a life by doing these three things:
1. Register to become a potential life saver
I know! You’ve heard me say this a million times!
Being a Stem Cell Donor is high on my wish list, but what does it actually mean? Find out more here
Registering to the blood stem cell register is super quick – it takes less than two minutes.
You can register from the ages of 17-55 and you’ll be on the register until the age of 61, unless you choose to be removed before then.
Click this link to order your registration kit and PLEASE remember to send it back!!
” Knowing that little bag of goodness is potentially going to save someone’s life who you’ve never met is incredibly hard to describe until you do it!
It’s the most surreal feeling, so to anyone thinking about it – do it!”
Jade, stem cell donor
2. Talk!!
Yes, so simple but SO effective. Only 3% of the populations are on the Stem Cell register. Many don’t know about the incredible work that DKMS do…
We can change that..
Please help me spread the word.. Tell your friends, share this link and together we can help so many more people by raising awareness and funds for this super important cause, close to my heart.
Every 27 seconds, someone somewhere in the world is diagnosed with blood cancer.

3. Easyfundraising – it IS that easy!
Please support by adding this app to your phone and link to your toolbar on your lap top.
Whenever you shop, the “donation reminder” will flash up reminding you the company you are shopping with will donate a percentage of your order to the Mission 50.
It sounds too good to be true but it really isn’t! There are hundreds of brands involved so whether you’re completing your online food shopping or renewing your pet insurance, you can add valuable pennies to DKMS without doing anything at all!
You can turn your weekly grocery shopping into big donations for DKMS_UK when you use easyfundraising. They’ve even put together all the latest donations and offers from your favourite supermarkets in one place!
Not only that…
You can WIN daily prizes worth £100 for yourself by entering the #easyfundraising Summer of Fun giveaway until 31st July!
For an entry, visit their competition page and shop with any of the listed brands. The FREE donations you raise will also make a BIG difference to us, so please take a moment to get involved! Visit here and find out more…
Finally;
Follow me on instagram for more regular updates on what crazy things I’m up to and how you can support.

Virtual London Marathon – 2nd October
I was really hoping to be able to run my 5th London Marathon in London, but it was not meant to be. Instead, I have a virtual place and will be trekking along the South West Coastal Path whilst the masses run the streets of London.
There’s a lot more planned so keep posted..
If there’s one thing you do today is to remember there are three ways you can help save a life:
Register to become a Stem cell Donor
Talk.. LOUDLY about DKMS. Share this post, tell at least one person today about the Mission 50 for DKMS
Register for the Easyfundraising App
Together, by doing each of these three things, you and I can help save a life and hopefully many lives!
If your company or brand would like to get involved and sponsor a forthcoming event or donate a prize, please do get in touch.
Thank you so very much!
