Christmas Jumper Day 2022
DKMS UK is an international charity dedicated to the fight against blood cancer and blood disorders. They recruit blood stem cell donors, provide second chances at life for those in need of a transplant, and raise funds to cover donor registration costs.
This is where you can help. Come along to our final meeting of 2022 on the 16th December and take part in showing off your best Christmas jumper. Alternatively, you can make a donation via the QR code or this link.
Over 2,000 people each year in the UK are in need of a blood stem cell transplant, however, just 3% of the UK’s population are registered as potential donors. Only a tiny proportion of these potential donors are from minority ethnic communities. The more people who register as blood stem cell donors, the better the chance for someone in need of a blood stem cell transplant. To date, worldwide, DKMS has registered over 11 million potential blood stem cell donors, and over 100,000 second chances at life have been provided by DKMS.
Merry Christmas and thank you for your support.
