Through the Anthony Nolan Trust Adrian has been lobbying the Government for better education on bone marrow donation and has already met with the Prime Minister, Health Secretary Alan Johnson and Schools Secretary Ed Balls to discuss the issue. 

 

Adrian is keen to dispel the many myths about what being a donor involves, “at the moment there is too much misconception surrounding these procedures. There is also an urgent need for blood, bone marrow and organ donors to come forward.  All I am trying to achieve is a 40-minute talk to all second year sixth form students about why it is important to think about donating blood, bone marrow and organs.  ItÙs only right that people should be able to make an informed choice either way. If people donate blood, or join a bone marrow register in their teens, then they will often continue to give blood and they will be on the register for a long time.”

 

Over 6,500 people have signed Adrian Sudbury's campaign for the Government to improve education about bone marrow donation.
