… the more people who do this, the greater the impact. Please take a moment to do the following NOW because time is of the essence. Mixed heritage, Black and Asian patients are dying because they don’t get an equal chance of the best stem cell donor.
A mixed race or ethnic minority patient has a 37% chance of a well-matched donor, against 72% for a patient of northern European heritage (APPG “Fit for Everyone” report).
The Government’s independent review of stem cell donation is under way and a first draft report is due this autumn. Now it needs to deliver.
Please help. Copy this letter (use this dropbox link to view and download), add your name and any details you wish (optional) and send it to the Health Secretary, Yvette Cooper:
✉️ Post it to: Department of Health and Social Care, 39 Victoria Street, London SW1H 0EU
💻 Or paste it into the DHSC “General enquiries” contact form on GOV.UK
📨 And then copy it to your MP – you can find your MP here: writetothem.com
It takes two minutes and it makes a difference. Lives depend on it.
Thank you
