Cape Town - The Sunflower Fund partnered by international non-profit DKMS (We Delete Blood Cancer), aims to register 15 000 new donors this year, in a bid to increase and create a more ethnically diverse donor registry and inevitably save more lives.
The Sunflower Fund partnered by DKMS is appealing to South Africans between the ages of 18 to 55 years and in general good health to register to become a stem-cell donor.
Sunday was not just a day entirely dedicated to love, but was also National Donor Day.
National Donor Day covers all types of donations and is part of a larger global campaign to raise awareness on the benefits of becoming a donor, and to focus on those who are changing and saving lives through donorship.
