The Anthony Nolan Trust is a UK charity that focuses on leukaemia and bone marrow transplantation. It manages, and recruits new donors to the most successful bone marrow register in the UK. It also carries out pioneering research to help make bone marrow transplants more effective.
The charity is named after Anthony Nolan (born 1971, died 1979), who did not suffer from leukaemia but from Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome, a rare inherited blood disorder. It was founded by Anthony's mother Shirley (1942-2002) in 1974. Initially based at the Westminster Children's Hospital, it moved to St Mary Abbot's Hospital in 1978 and to its present offices, laboratory and research institute in north London. It was initially named the "Anthony Nolan bone marrow register", but was renamed in 2001 to reflect the new reality that stem cells can now be harvested without surgically aspirating bone marrow.[1].
To help take back more lives from leukaemia, The Anthony Nolan Trust constantly needs more people aged 18 - 40 to join its bone marrow register, especially young men and people from black and minority ethnic communities. Visit [[2]] for more details.
The Midland Metro has a tram named after Anthony Nolan.
