The #Spit4Mum campaigners have been nominated for one of the prestigious Anthony Nolan Supporter Awards.

Jonni and Caroline Berger launched an innovative campaign which persuaded thousands of Jews to sign up to the Anthony Nolan Trust bone marrow register after their mother, Sharon, fell ill and needed a bone marrow transplant.

The campaign had great success and the Spit4Mum project is thought to be responsible for the largest concentration of stem cells donors being in Jewish areas of London. Over 1190 Jewish people joined the Anthony Nolan’s donor register as a result of the campaign.

Jonni Berger was number 82 on this year’s JC Power 100 list.
