Arran plays the violin in the Caithness Junior Orchestra, and he is keen to raise awareness of the Anthony Nolan stem cell register, and support the charity through fundraising, ahead of his own transplant which is planned for 2024.
Musicians of the Caithness Orchestra, the Caithness Big Band and the junior orchestra will be playing at events over the coming months in support of Arran’s awareness raising campaign.
The Anthony Nolan charity has provided Arran’s campaign with a bespoke QR code which will inform and support potential young donors (age 16-30) about how they can join the register. The link also provides information about how to donate money as an alternative way to help for those who are not eligible to become stem cell donors.
We’d be so grateful if our partners at MEPG would share the QR code with their participants and supporters to encourage as many young people as possible to join the stem cell register. The more people are on the register, the more likely it is that a young person like Arran, suffering either a blood disorder or blood cancer, will be able to find a life-saving donor match.
Thanks so much to everyone for your support- it means so much to Arran and his family.
