Emotional reunion
Alison Belsham, a brave cancer survivor from South Wales, met her heroic stem cell donor, Rachel Rees, in a heartwarming surprise that left both women in tears.
Life-saving match
Alison was diagnosed with leukaemia for the second time in 2017, leading to a worldwide search for a bone marrow donor. Despite millions of volunteers, a match was found in Rachel, who was living in Australia at the time.
Encouraging others to sign up
The emotional meeting between Alison and Rachel, whose stem cells saved Alison's life, highlights the importance of signing up to become a donor. Their story aims to inspire others to help in the fight against blood cancer.
A call for more donors
With thousands diagnosed with blood cancer every year, the need for stem cell donors is urgent. Christopher Harvey of the Welsh Bone Marrow Donor Registry urges more people to sign up and potentially save a life in their 'greatest time of need'.
