Swab your gob and be a superhero! There is a ten-year-old girl in hospital who is seriously ill with aplastic anaemia. She desperately needs a stem cell transplant to save her life, but as yet no one on the register is a match for her. The Swabyourgob campaign was set up by a group of her parents' friends to try to recruit 10, people to join the register in a month, to give her the best chance of finding a match. Please 'swab your gob' and join the register; you could be a superhero for our friend, or one of the hundreds of people each year who rely on a total stranger to do something amazing and save their life.
