In conjunction with the Appeal we have launched an initiative called the 40/40 challenge. It’s

object is to get a minimum of 40 clubs working side by

40 new people registered as a potential donor on the Anthony Nolan register.

Each challenge will be undertaken in 1 day and organised by the participating clubs at whatever

event they consider suitable. In addition to t

will end up putting at least 1,600 new names in front of Table and Circle for them to talk to about

Membership.

GB & I Round Table don’t run National projects so this is one way we can get 41 clubs and Round

Tables working together.

It’s early days yet but so far we have had 3 clubs run an event with over 100 new names

the register and put in front of Table and Circle. We currently have a further 17 clubs who are
