Script
Hi, my name is Paul Walshe and, in 2007, I was diagnosed with leukaemia? I needed a blood stem cell transplant from a donor, and I needed it to stay alive. Unfortunately, my sister wasn?t found to be a match for me, so I was told that the transplant would have to come from an unrelated donor. So, Anthony Nolan began to search their register. I was really beginning to lose hope. It?s an awful feeling just waiting? waiting for something that you?re not sure will actually come? Amazingly? one morning, I got a call to say they?d found someone. Anthony Nolan just never gave up on their search, and they really came through for me.

They were brilliant. They found?

Hi, I?m Stuart McKechnie, and I?m an engineer from Cirencester. I joined the register in 2011 but, unfortunately,

I?m not a match for Paul.

Hey, my name?s Laura, I?m from Newcastle and I work in a restaurant. I?m sorry to say that I?m not a match for Paul.

Hello, my name?s Andy Mitchell and I?m from Liverpool. I joined the register in 2006 and, a few years later, they found that I was?a perfect match? Someone in the world that matches me? and matches me perfectly? Life doesn?t have to end? It really is the best gift you could ever give.
