Thank you so much! I'm amazed at the support we've found here - and hopeful that together we can convince the NHS to re-examine the need to promote cord blood donation much more widely. As you know, we're doing this for our friend Ruby - wife, mother to two very young children and friend - who desperately needs a stem cell donation as soon as possible. This petition is going to take time to have an effect. But there are ways you can help Ruby right now: 1. Most importantly, Register for Ruby! If you are between 18-55 and in relatively good health then you can register online really easily at www.dkms.org.uk. Watch the video above to see how easy it is. 2. Share for Ruby. Tell your friends and family how much we need people to register and how easy it is. Share the video from www.registerforruby.com. Share this petition. Share the FB group - just keep people talking about the need to expand the stem cell/bone marrow register. 3. Volunteer for Ruby - we are running recruitment drives in as many places as we can but for that we need people! Or you might know a place where you'd like to organise a drive. You can get in touch on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/groups/107903666394376/. 4. Donate for Ruby - we hate to ask for money but, in order to both expand our campaign to register as many people as possible and to support Ruby and her family during this horrible time, we have to ask you to consider this http://justgiving.com/crowdfunding/team-ruby. Right now, Ruby is enjoying two precious weeks at home with her children and husband, Sam, before going back into hospital. She got the chance to celebrate Sofia's very first birthday on Saturday - help us make next year's celebration an even happier one!
