SEARCH FOR THE HERO INSIDE YOUR CELLS

Download book

A short book by Arabella Greve, aged 15

A word from the author:
"It is my greatest wish that this book will provide inspiration to young people to sign up to the stem cell register when they become eligible on their 16th birthday. My message, from one teenager to another, is that we have the ability to do something amazing. Our cells are young and healthy, and at no cost to ourselves, we could save someone’s life - what greater gift as a human being is there?”
