Brendan backs life-saving donor drive
Brendan Rodgers added his name to a long list of Liverpool players who are backing a push for vital donors.
The manager pledged his support to Anthony Nolan, the UK's leading blood cancer charity.
Brad Jones and his partner Dani Lawrence (above) have enlisted the help of Lucas Leiva, Daniel Agger, Joe Allen, Martin Kelly, Luis Suarez and Sebastian Coates in recent weeks.
And now Rodgers is backing the drive to recruit potential donors, which will culminate in a special event at Anfield on Monday, March 25.
During the day, volunteers will be invited to give a small saliva sample and join the Anthony Nolan bone marrow register.
The Liverpool FC Foundation are also behind the campaign to recruit donors and the club's Youth Ambassadors will be on hand at the Reds Lounge in the Centenary Stand from 3pm to 7pm on the day.
The charity has nearly 470,000 people on the register but can still only provide a suitable donor to around half of the people in need.
If you would like to join the register but are unable to make the event, then you can sign up online at www.anthonynolan.org/spit.
