Round Table Childrens Wish 857 Wimborne Road Bournemouth Dorset BH9 2BQ Tel: 01202 514515 http://www.rtcw.org |
We need help to support us in granting wishes to these special children who will never experience adulthood, a privilege we all take for granted. Apart from fundraising, if you think you may be able to arrange something which could be an experience of a lifetime to one of these children, we'd love to hear from you. Donations of unused Air Miles are also gratefully accepted. And of course, if you know of a child in our area that we might be able to help in this way, please let us know.
Anthony
Nolan Bone Marrow TrustFounded in 1974 as the first Register of volunteers willing to donate bone marrow in circumstances where a match cannot be found within a patient’s family, The Anthony Nolan Bone Marrow Trust now holds one of the largest databases of unrelated donors in the world. The Trust owes its existence to the determination of Shirley Nolan, who established the Register in an attempt to save the life of her son, Anthony; a little boy born in 1971 suffering a rare bone marrow disease which left his immune system unable to fight infection.

Sadly, no matching donor was ever found for Anthony and he died in 1979 aged seven, but 1,000s of people happy and well throughout the world today owe their lives to Shirley’s tireless work. Round Table provided support in setting up the register, and continues to support the work of the Trust's tissue typing laboratory with fundraising activities.
