Best of luck, hope there's an happy end to this.

I like the end picture.

I just went on to the site to register but at 57 I'm too old, the site won't let me do it. No explanation on the site as to why. Sorry.

Coincidently, I was reading about this the other day. The Anthony Nolan trust only takes new donors up to age 30, though you can donate to 60. The reason is it costs £100 to do the tests, so it not economical. Most people who register will never donate. I registered as a bone marrow donor more than 20 years ago, and I've never been contacted even as a potential match. So in 3 years, it would be very unlikely you'll match with anyone and it just isn't economical

I have just remembered, I registered on the Anthony Nolan site 30 years ago! I'd forgotten. I too have never been contacted.

Video has one dislike on youtube! how can you dislike a plea for help? It may not even be Elsie someone who registers ends up helping.
