WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO…
Our daughter Eimear was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma in September 2016. Eimear died on June 27th 2019 following complications from a Bone Morrow transplant.
Eimear’s dying wish was that more people would join the Bone Marrow Donor Registry. Anyone between the ages of 18-45, in good health can register as a blood stem cell donor. The healthiest stem cells come from people aged between 18—30. Young men in this age group make up less than 20% of the donor register, but provide an astonishing 55% of all donations.
Only 2.7% of people living in Northern Ireland are on the bone marrow donor register and only 5% regularly give blood. Therefore, we are asking you to register as a bone marrow and blood donor, you can join the registers by scanning the QR codes below.
Every year 30 people or more In Northern Ireland have to find a total stranger who is willing to donate their bone marrow otherwise they will have no chance of surviving their life threatening illness.
