NICKY - Founder

Why did you join?

My family set up AMM after my nephew Ned was diagnosed with AML and could not find a stem cell donor in Australia. We realised the registry of those willing to donate was so small compared to other countries that it is hard to find a match. We are hoping to change that so other Australians in need can find a lifesaving match.

What are some of your interests?

Family, friends, Travel and my dogs 🐶
