Michael Bibi Encourages Fans to Join Stem Cell Register At
One Life London Event
After declaring himself cancer-free last December after his battle with a rare form of brain and spinal cancer, known as CNS Lymphoma, Michael Bibi is now focusing his efforts on raising awareness and funding resources for cancer patients. The DJ/producer will encourage attendees of his One Life London event this weekend to join the stem cell transplant register.
One Life London will take place this Saturday, July 6th at Finsbury park, where 45,000 people are expected to attend. Bibi has invited Anthony Nolan, a charity centered on matching donors with patients in need of stem cell transplants, to set up a booth at the event to spread awareness for their cause. Attendees are encouraged to stop by the booth and consider joining the register, especially 16-30-year-olds, as research has shown that younger stem cell donors lead to more successful outcomes for cancer patients. Bibi will also sell One Life merchandise at the event to raise funds for the Royal Marsden hospital in London, which is where he received treatment himself last year.
In a statement, Bibi said: “Last summer I was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer and given just a 30% chance of survival. Advancements in medical treatments like stem cell transplants gave me a second chance at life and are crucial in battling these conditions.”
“Together, our community can make a difference. That’s why Anthony Nolan staff and volunteers will be at my homecoming show, ready to sign people up to the stem cell register. Anthony Nolan is a charity dedicated to ensuring that everyone who needs a lifesaving stem cell transplant finds a match. So, if you’re coming down to celebrate life in Finsbury Park, make sure you visit the Anthony Nolan stand. By becoming part of the stem cell community, you could give the gift of life.”
