The DKMS Bedford hub was set up in May 2018 by Poonam and other passionate volunteers as part of the desperate search to find a stem cell match for five-year-old leukaemia patient Kaiya.

Sadly, Kaiya passed away in January 2019 but the Bedford hub continues with its mission to give as many people a second chance at life as possible.
