Childhood leukaemia can sometimes be mistaken for common childhood illnesses. Persistent tiredness, unexplained bruising, frequent infections, bone or joint pain, pale skin, or ongoing fevers should never be ignored. Trust your instincts and seek medical advice if something doesn’t feel right. Early awareness can make a difference.

A new week. A renewed purpose. 💙
Alex wanted to help change the odds for people from mixed heritage backgrounds searching for a stem cell donor.
Although he sadly lost his own battle, his legacy lives on through every person who joins the register, every fundraiser, and every conversation that raises awareness.
Let's start this week by continuing Alex's mission.

Alex Nicholson died because of his mixed heritage.
When Alex was diagnosed with blood cancer, he needed a stem cell transplant to survive. Like many patients from mixed heritage backgrounds, finding a matching donor was incredibly difficult because there were so few people with similar genetic characteristics on the stem cell register.
Alex understood this inequality firsthand. He knew that patients from mixed heritage and ethnic minority communities face much lower chances of finding a lifesaving donor match than those from white Northern European backgrounds.
Before he died, Alex wanted to help change those odds.
That is why Alex's Legacy exists today: to increase awareness, recruit more stem cell donors from underrepresented communities, and help build a more diverse register where every patient has an equal chance of finding their match.
No one should lose their life because the right donor cannot be found.
If you are from a mixed heritage or ethnic minority background, your registration could be the lifesaving match someone is desperately waiting for.
Help us continue Alex's legacy. Join the stem cell register. Share this post. Help change the odds.
