Ken’s fiancée’s father sadly passed away from mantle cell non Hodgkin Lymphoma. His bravery spurred Ken on to raise awareness of blood cancer and to increase understanding of the need for stem cell donors.
On average, 72 people are diagnosed with blood cancer every day in the UK. What’s more, 2,000 people per year need a donor and only 50 per cent of them will find a suitable match. If you can, please spread the message about stem cell donation among your colleagues, friends and families.
To make a donation, please go to www.justgiving.com/fundraising/Phelim-Shields.
Ken, his fiancée Roisin Shields and DKMS would like to thank everyone for their kind support and donations.
