" "I am very excited to be a Millennium Fellow for two reasons. First, it is a great opportunity for me to learn more about the Sustainable Development Goals and enhance my social leadership skills through the trainin sessions. In addition, I am also looking forward to getting the chance to meet inspiring young people who I can not only learn from today, but hope to work with in the future." "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Cambridge Stem Cell Initiative
The Cambridge Stem Cell Initiative is a project designed to target SGDs 3 and 10. We are working to reduce inequalities in the UK's health system. In particular, we are fighting the issue of minority ethnic patients being less likely to receive a potentially life-saving stem cell transplant compared to White people in the UK. The project was centered around raising awareness of the problem and organising an event with renouned stem cell charity Anthony Nolan. On the 16th of November, we were proud to collaborate with the Cambridge Black Medic Society, Anthony Nolan and two other charities to host an event: Bridging the Gap: Fighting inequalities with Anthony Nolan. At the event, attendees heard about the problem and were encouraged to sign up to the stem cell register. The event received strong positive feedback from attendees and two dozen sign ups to the stem cell register. Our group hopes to make this event the first of a range of events and initiatives, such as the establishment of Cambridge Marrow Society and more awareness events. This mission will continue after the end of the Millennium Fellowship.
