Arsenal footballer Lukas Podolski is the latest celebrity backing the campaign to find a bone marrow donor for Harrow grandmother Sharon Berger.
The German international forward was a patron of a drive in Finchley, the first run by the recently launched Delete Blood Cancer UK.
“As patron I fully support Delete Blood Cancer UK in this donor recruitment event for this lovely grandmother,” the player explained.
He added: “Registering as a potential stem cell donor is quick and easy and could save the life of Sharon or other patients in need.”
