James’ wife Emma has acute myeloid leukaemia (AML), a very aggressive blood cancer. Emma will potentially need two rounds of chemotherapy and then a blood stem cell transplant to remove the AML for good.

Every 27 seconds someone, somewhere in the world is diagnosed with blood cancer, like Emma. Often their only hope of survival is a stem cell transplant from a stranger and DKMS works hard to add as many potential lifesavers to the blood stem cell registry as possible.

The money you raise and donate will add more potentially life-saving matches to this register, as adding each one costs DKMS £40, and give more people with blood cancer and blood disorders a second chance at life.
