Will Briant's donation gave a grandfather extra precious time with his family.
A Glasgow man, who saved a life after donating stem cells, is urging others to sign up to the Anthony Nolan register.
"So I looked up the Anthony Nolan stem cell register and it seemed like a no brainer. The thought that something so simple from me could save someone's life in the future appealed to me, so I signed up.Stem cell transplants are vital for severe blood cancer sufferers. The treatment will only be carried out if all other potential cures have not worked.
"I had a phone call saying that I'd come up as a potential match. I did another blood test so they could get more information. Before Christmas during my final year of university I got the news that I was the best possible match for the patient so I was donating in the new year. "During my donation I watched loads of Alan Partridge, they brought me loads of nice food and I even got a visit from a volunteer. After donating I felt fine, the next day I returned to Edinburgh, was back in uni and back in my job."
"It was a letter from the guy I'd donated to. He reached through Anthony Nolan with an anonymous letter.
