Matty Donnelly London Marathon
Matthew Donnelly
My Story
Back in 2005 my dad passed away with leukaemia a rare form of blood cancer, during his many treatments he received a bone marrow donation from his brother Phillip. So from a young age I've been aware of bone marrow and stem cell treatment, soon as I was old enough I registered with Anthony Nolan to be donor.
In 2015 I was a match for somebody through Anthony Nolan and I was able to donate my stem cells to a women somewhere in the UK longer with her family and that is why I am running for Anthony Nolan so other people can experience giving other people a chance.
The London marathon seems a fitting place to raise this amount of money as my dad ran the marathon back in 1991 in a time of 3 hours and 11mins
Anthony Nolan is the pioneering charity that unites people and science to make lifesaving connections - matching stem cell donors to those in need of transplants and treatments and growing their world-leading stem cell register, so everyone can find the match they need.
