In his first interview since being discharged from hospital today, stem cell donor Sam Astley from Sedgley says he didn't mind missing the Euro 2020 semi-final at Wembley because saving lives is much more important. And now he's got tickets for the final on Sunday 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏆

5yrs ago a wonderful man, Billy Higgins, saved my son’s life by donating his bone marrow, thanks to Anthony Nolan & Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children. 3yrs ago we first met & today we met again at the same place The Red Lion Oakman Inns & Restaurants Ltd & met their gorgeous boy. bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-eng… THANK YOU

#911Anniversary #NeverForget911

This made me chuckle.

I retold my story again for Anthony Nolan this week (to be revealed later). The day after I went for a run. 1/2 mile in and the tears started. This is one of the reasons I run. It sorts my head out and it’s good to let it all out and have a good cry sometimes. Holly Rebooted

So, we may not be able to go in person, but super excited to be able to watch online instead. Tim Peake Rupert will be watching!

Another day in the life of me from 2019. Thank you Anthony Nolan for letting me shout & to BGC Charity Day for a great day out. I craved for life to be “normal” when we were in Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children, but it has become so much more. Hope we get the chance to do things like this again soon

I know that feeling, whoop whoop! There are some amazing, selfless people out there xxx

📢 COMING SOON... Tomorrow, we'll be sharing an incredibly moving conversation between our patron, Olivia Colman and Holly Cross, the mother of a young boy called Rupert, whose life was saved when he received a stem cell transplant. Here's just a snippet to get you started...

This is why I support Anthony Nolan. I’m shouting from the rooftops so those in hospital waiting for a match don’t have to. Instead of your gingerbread caramel frappe latte today, make an instant and donate the cost (sign up too if you are 16-30). Thank you once again Olivia x

If you have a family member who was at Hillsborough and feel that you could do with support to be able to support them please DM for details

In the words of Anthony Nolan “Brothers are always there, because that’s what brothers are for” Thank you for keeping these boys together. Nearly 6 years post transplant. Billy Higgins look what you did, be proud. I can never thank you enough x

🥤 🕷 🦸‍♂️ Spidey Sense smoothies and snacks at break today, as part of our celebrations of #ChildrensMentalHealthWeek. Yum! Thanks to Fay and the rest of our catering team for our delicious, energy-boosting snacks. 💙

🚨 PLEASE RT 🚨 17-year-old Charlie is a keen boxer and has just qualified as a chef in the Royal Navy. He urgently needs to find a matching donor for a stem cell transplant, after being diagnosed with Aplastic Anaemia. Join the stem cell register: bit.ly/3X3QKNd

An awesome bunch. Thanks to all of you. 💚🖤

Back in 2020 the lovely David Flatman heard me shout from the rooftop about my amazing son and how Anthony Nolan saved his life. Tonight he got to meet him at @RugbySchool1567 thank you for a lovely night. My story youtube.com/watch?v=h4zd98… Can you save a life?
