It may be the final home match of the season but the Rangers Charity Foundation has a different kind of match in mind that day. Your bone marrow could be a match that saves a life. With the Foundation's help The Anthony Nolan Trust is looking for Rangers Life-Saving Heroes just before theKilmarnock game to help save the lives of people who are suffering from leukaemia. With so many fans already here at the stadium the Foundation is hoping that hundreds of fans will help us to boost our nominated charity's cause by dropping in to Ibrox Primary and joining the bone marrow donor register.
Both Angela MacVicar from The Anthony Nolan Trust and Conal Cochrane from the Rangers Chairty Foundation, recently attended a Worldwide Alliance Scottish Delegates meeting at Ibrox to talk about this special cause for the Rangers Charity Foundation this season. It was a very useful meeting and they hope that as a result Rangers Supporters Clubs will consider helping the Foundation to promote the clinic on Sunday 13 May.
16-year-old Rangers fan Kathleen MacLean is in Yorkhill Children's Hospital at the moment and is receiving what will hopefully be a life-saving bone marrow transplant to ensure her leukaemia never comes back. Could your bone marrow or someone in your Rangers Supporters Club's be a match for a leukaemia sufferer and give them the gift of life?
To join the register you must 18-40 years old, and we're particularly looking for more men to join. So, if you could be one of our life-saving heroes and are interested in joining the register please come along to the clinic at Ibrox on Sunday 13 May between 11am and 2pm.
