Agger backing Anthony Nolan drive

4th Mar 2013 - Latest News

Liverpool defender Daniel Agger has followed the lead of several teammates by showing his support for a campaign which is looking for donors to potentially save lives.

Anthony Nolan, the UK's leading blood cancer charity, will hold an event at Anfield on Monday, March 25 - where volunteers can give a small saliva sample and join the Anthony Nolan bone marrow register.

Reds goalkeeper Brad Jones, alongside partner Dani Lawrence, has backed the event after tragically losing son Luca to Leukaemia in November 2011.

Midfielder Lucas Leiva and the Liverpool FC Foundation have urged the call for donors, who can make a difference by visiting the Reds Lounge in the Centenary Stand from 3pm to 7pm on March 25.

The charity has nearly 470,000 people on the register but can still only provide a suitable donor to around half of the people in need.

If you would like to join the register but are unable to make the event, then you can sign up online at www.anthonynolan.org/spit.
