Lifesaving Durham University students were honoured by blood cancer charity Anthony Nolan at a recent digital awards celebration.
Durham Marrow won the Register Champion of the Year award at the Anthony Nolan Supporter Awards 2021 for signing up over 150 potential lifesaving stem cell donors to the Anthony Nolan stem cell register. This is the highest number of people signed up by a university led group for 2020-21.
The awards, now in their eighth year, recognise the outstanding achievements of the volunteers, fundraisers, clinical supporters and donors who help the pioneering blood cancer charity save lives. Marrow is part of Anthony Nolan’s student volunteer network and its student volunteers around the UK raise awareness of the need for more young people to join its stem cell register.
