Can I ask you all to support this cause.
It is to bring awareness that the Umbilical cord can save another life.
There is more about this on facebook on the page

    signed for you,good luck
    Life is like a bath, the longer you are in it the more wrinkly you become.
  • Signed it too!
    Learnt about this years ago from my mum, such a shame so many hospitals don't have the facilities and that there is also such a shortage of midwives, that it would be quite hard to implement.

    Hopefully it gets enough signatures to get discussed in Parliament.

    Thank you so much, this really needs to be looked into, if it only saves a few children's lives it was/is worth it xx

    I have signed I was following on facebook so terribly sad about Charlie such a beautiful strong little boy. Still a long way off the 100k signatures needed if more people could support this amazing cause it would be fantastic x

    Charlie was a little sweetheart, I didn't know him,( I did live in Kidderminster, til about 3 yrs ago ) but he managed to bring a whole area together.. I think if more people read his story, they could not help but to be moved.
    Thank you for signing

  • Make sure you do your research before signing! It's important that parents know of the option but many cells from cords are never used, whereas that extra time the cord is attached to the baby is extremely beneficial and with cord banking your own children do not get the chance to benefit from their own cord blood x
