Helping the Anthony Nolan Trust
James Metsoja (OD 95/02) will be playing a 24 hours Ping Pong Marathon to help recruit bone marrow donor volunteers for the Anthony Nolan Trust, the UK's largest bone marrow donor register.
James will take on all challengers over the 24 hour Pingpongathon, which will be held in St George's Church, Colgate, Norwich. The event begins at 11am on Sunday 13th February and will run until 11am on Monday 14th February. James is relying on the support of people to come and play a game or just cheer him on!
He says, "I decided to represent the Anthony Nolan Trust after seeing a friend of mine get life-saving treatment, including a bone marrow transplant, for the very rare blood cancer, Aplastic Anaemia. I love playing ping-pong, and think this is a great way to raise awareness for the Trust; I am hoping to get at least 100 people to sign up to the bone marrow register as well as raise money for this amazing charity".
