Birmingham Marrow
Posted on 29. Oct, 2009 by Kevin in Announcements, Blog, Events, News
Birmingham Marrow are holding a clinic at Canvas on 4th November from 12.30 – 4pm. Please come along and consider joining the Anthony Nolan Trust Bone Marrow Register.
About Joining the Register.
Attend the clinic, read through the form and check that you do not have any medical conditions that would mean you were unable to join the register.
Then fill in a health questionnaire, and a trained Marrow counsellor will then then explain the procedures involved should you be called up to donate at any point in the future. They will also answer any questions you may have.
Finally a trained phlebotomist will then take a small blood sample (4mls which is less than a teaspoon) which is sent off to be tissue typed.
As a new member of the Anthony Nolan Trust register you will receive a registration card and postal confirmation of your status as a potential life saver a few weeks after having provided your sample.
Every single person on the Register is making a wonderful commitment â?? to make themselves available to support another person in need of a life saving transplant.
This is an excellent way to make a real difference in someone’s life. Click here to view the Facebook Event Invitation to show your support.
