Finn's Story | DKMS UK

“Without my donor I wouldn’t be here today.”
When 11-year-old Finn first suffered symptoms of an incredibly rare blood disorder at the age of four, it forever altered the course of his family's life. His diagnosis showed that a stem cell transplant offered his only chance of survival.

Finn underwent his first transplant when a near-perfect match was discovered in Brazil. However, in 2022, his stem cell levels plummeted dangerously, putting him at risk of a relapse. Fortunately, a 100 per cent compatible match was found for him in Portugal, and in December 2022, he received his second transplant.

If you're aged between 17 and 55, you have the power to give someone, like Finn, a second chance at life. Register as a potential stem cell donor with DKMS today: dkms.org.uk/register.
