Goodison Park to host stem cell donor clinic this weekend

Liverpool fans can help boost the number of life-saving stem cell donors at a walk-up clinic at Goodison Park this weekend.

Everton FC is opening its doors for a swabbing event on Saturday October 9 and Sunday October 10, hosted by blood cancer charity DKMS, to find potential donors to add to the international register.

Former Blues defender Gary Stevens – whose four-year-old son Jack remains in desperate need of a donor after suffering a cancer relapse following treatment for juvenile myelomonocytic leukaemia, a rare blood cancer that affects young children – is encouraging as many people as possible to turn up and be swabbed.
