Stem cell campaign increases number of Asian donors

A stem cell donor campaign backed by the parents of a seriously-ill boy from the Black Country has been credited with boosting the number of Asian volunteers.

Two year old Gaurav Bains from Tipton has a rare immune condition and needs a bone marrow transplant before Christmas.

Following awareness campaigns in the past two months, Anthony Nolan say they've seen 500 potential donors come forward - that's compared to 40 volunteers in the same period last year.
