Meet our 2006 'Special Recognition' winner, Beverley De-Gale

When Beverley De-Gale’s son Daniel was diagnosed with leukaemia for the second time in 1995, a bone marrow transplant was his only chance.
His sister Dominique had a one in four chance of being a match - but was not. So Daniel, then aged eight, would have to rely on the UK Donor Register.
At that time, there were around 285,000 registered potential bone marrow donors in the UK.
Shockingly, only 550 were black or mixed race. If Daniel were white, he would have had a one in five chance of finding a match. Because he was black, his odds were only one in 250,000.
