The remarkable support shown for the 'Swab for Sykes' Campaign continues to build like a trombone crescendo at the end 'Pageantry' this weekend, with volunteers manning registration events at the Welsh and London & Southern Counties Regional Championships.

Stem Cell Research

Already over 500 people at the North West, Yorkshire and West of England Championships have signed up to give a DKMS swab in the hope they can be matched for stem cell research that will help Stephen and others, and there is sure to be another great response at the Brangwyn Hall and Stevenage Arts & Leisure Centre.

Swansea Swab Station

The 'Swab Station' in Swansea will be manned from 9.00am on both Saturday and Sunday with volunteers from bands such as Tredegar and Cory and will be found in the trade stand area.
