Marrow has three important aims:

• To raise awareness of Anthony Nolan and blood cancer within universities around the UK. This means spreading the word, holding events and letting students know about our lifesaving work.
• To give every student the opportunity to join our stem cell register. Marrow run recruitment drives across campus, from halls to the university gym, they make sure students are within spitting distance of becoming a lifesaver.
• To raise funds to help support Anthony Nolan’s vital work. Marrow hold fantastic fundraising events, including bake sales, bucket shakes, balls and more. 

What we’ve already achieved

• We’ve signed up over 100,000 people to the Anthony Nolan register, and we do more every year.
• 1 in 100 people who we’ve signed up to the Anthony Nolan register go on to donate – much higher than average.
• 28% of all Anthony Nolan stem cell donations are the result of Marrow’s work.
• We’ve raised a ton of money – Marrow have raised over £160,000 in a year to help fund Anthony Nolan’s work.
