Imagine having a price put on your child’s life. £500k sounds impossible but with the power of people we can save Oscars life. Oscars leukaemia is back and the NHS are out of options. There is treatment abroad but we must fundraise. Can you help? RT!

[Hand in Hand for Oscar @HandinHandforOz]

28% of our target raised! Incredible! Keep going! Time isn’t on our side. The quicker we hit target the quicker Oscar can get his treatment. We’re being inundated with fundraising ideas and it means the world to us! Thank you all 🙏🏼❤️🎗RT!

Over a third of people are dismissing symptoms that could potentially be blood cancer. That's why this #BloodCancerAwarenessMonth we're raising awareness of symptoms. Help us spread the word 📢

Hi, I’m Finn, I’m 7 and I’m a Superhero🦸🏻‍♂️ Earlier this year, I was diagnosed with HLH. As a result, I am in urgent need of a blood stem cell donation and still haven’t found a match. Swab kits can be requested from https://t.co/yJ9ftf5VOE and are super easy. #FinntheFabulous

[DKMS UK | We Delete Blood Cancer @DKMS_uk]

Have you returned your swabs? 📮📨

By requesting a swab kit, you are taking the first step to becoming a lifesaver.

But without your swabs, we can’t complete your registration.

Worldwide, 35% of people who request a swab kit from us don’t send them back. 😞
