On May 11th I met with Rebecca Hall to talk to her about the Bone Marrow Appeal she has launched at University of Southampton and that has been covered by ITV News this week.
Why is this Bone Marrow Appeal so important to you?
Well, my cousin, Alice Pyne was diagnosed two years ago with Hodgkin’s Lymphona Disease, which is a type of cancer. Since being diagnosed she has had three courses of chemotherapy, 1 full radiation course which is really intensive chemotherapy. Now at the age of 14, Alice will need a bone marrow transplant.
Is this only happening in Southampton?
No, there have already been bone barrow recruitment events across the country for Alice however I thought it would be great to get Southampton students together to help out for a great cause.
