Campaign to inspire teenage bone marrow donors.
(From Bristol Evening Post)
Teenagers in Bristol are among the first in the country to be invited to sign up for bone marrow donation.
The city has been chosen by the Antony Nolan Trust for a pilot scheme that encourages young people to consider giving blood, bone marrow or organs.
The Register & Be a Lifesaver campaign was launched at Cotham School's sixth form this week.
It was inspired by Adrian Sudbury, who spent his last months before his death from leukaemia, at the age of 27, calling for better education and information for young people on the importance of bone marrow donation. His Baldy's Blog caught the attention of Gordon Brown and Health Secretary Alan Johnson, both of whom Adrian met.
Adrian's mum Kay Sudbury told the sixth-formers her son's life had been prolonged for more than a year after he received a bone marrow transplant.
She has now taken on her son's mission to dispel myths and misconceptions about the process so that teenagers can make an informed choice.
