Originally set up to find a match for Gary Stevens’ young son. Now were here to educate and inform fans about the need for more ppl to reg as stem cell donors.
This account was set up to help find a matching, lifesaving stem cell donor for Gary Stevens’ young son.Sadly that didn’t happen😢 As we approach the end of the year, I’d love to know how many of you have joined

Gary Ablett would have been 58 today. Our thoughts are with his family.
You can honour his memory by joining the

So many people, who clearly don’t watch Everton, are commenting left , right and centre. Let’s have it right, under Benitez, Everton would have been relegated weeks ago. We were doomed and it was toxic. Lampard’s biggest achievement, is bringing the club and fans back to life
Right Blues. We’ve had an amazing offer from a fellow Evertonian (who wants to remain anonymous). If you can get this page to 1878 followers by the time
@Everton
KO tomorrow, they’ll make a £300 donation to
@AnthonyNolan
to help save more lives from blood cancer. Do your stuff 💙
Seeing lots of debate about the amount of followers a supposed Blue has.
He a was somewhere in excess of 23,000 when his main purpose was to annoy people.
We’re trying to save lives and can’t get to 6,000 😨
You never thought you’d see an
@Everton
captain lifting a cup this morning did you !!! Hoping to see photos of
@reid6peter
and
@NevilleSouthall
with theirs too soon 💙💙💙
Can’t begin to tell you how gutted I was to hear this news 💔 The appeal to find a stem cell donor for Jack is the reason this account exists. Please don’t let Jack’s passing be in vain. Please go to
@AnthonyNolan
or
@DKMS_uk
to register in his honour. 💙
Everyone at Everton is deeply saddened to learn that Gary Stevens’ four-year-old son, Jack, has passed away following his courageous battle with leukaemia.
Our thoughts are with Gary and his family at this incredibly sad time. 💙
Tonight, Gary and his family should be celebrating Jack’s 7th birthday 💔
We’d love you to honour his life by joining the stem cell register if you can.
If you can’t, please ask others by sharing this tweet 💙

Exciting update: We're delighted to share that baby Francis is showing 100% donor cells in his blood, meaning his body has accepted his
#stemcell
transplant. 🙌
Thanks to a match found on the register, Francis now has a chance at a future filled with many more milestones. ❤️
Happiest birthday to
@GiuliaBould
who has been a great help to our little account.
Giulia will also be one of our guest speakers at our awareness event on November 8th 💙
Well this has progressed!! Look at these 🥰 Do you have a favourite? Would you buy one for a very good cause? All profits will go towards the fight against blood cancer. Once we’ve settled on a final design, all details will be confirmed 💙 RT’s would really be appreciated 💙
Today we’re remembering former
@Everton
&
@LFC
player Gary Ablett, who sadly died of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, on this day in 2012 💙❤️
Blood Cancer doesn’t care who we support. Please consider joining the stem cell register to help others who are searching for their perfect match
@nataliesawyer
I just nearly crashed the car listening to Cascarino saying “Everton gambled, like they were in Las Vegas, on signing players” Please don’t allow that to become the narrative. This charge relates to interest payments on a loan related to the new stadium.
@talkSPORT
Imagine if everyone who watches the
@England
game tomorrow RT’d our links to the stem cell registers 😨😨😨😨😨😨
We’d reach MILLIONS of potential lifesaving donors.

Happy 16th birthday to my baby girl. She was 4 when I donated stem cells to a complete stranger. Tomorrow morning she will apply to join the
@AnthonyNolan
stem cell register. Hopefully she can go on to help save a life 😎

@efc_engagement
Sad to see that Alan Myers has felt the need to deactivate his Twitter account due to constant negativity. He’s been a great help retweeting my tweets about the need for more stem cell donors and helping me to raise funds for
@EITC
. Please try to use your social media for good 💙
Just in case you missed it. Baby Francis, a local, had leukaemia. He needed a stem cell transplant. We, his family, and hundreds of others helped to inspire thousands of people to join the
@DKMS_uk
register. A match was found and now he’s on the long road to recovery. How amazing

What’s breath of fresh air !!! The only thing
@Nicolle_Begovic
can possibly do now is follow us to help us recruit more stem cell donors amongst the
@Everton
fan base. 🤞🏽💙
No matter who you support, you can’t help but feel the emotion in this pod, as Louise, the wife of Gary Stevens, discusses the loss of their 4 year old son Jack.
She also explains how they’re hoping to inspire people to register as stem cell donors. 💙
Please RT RT RT 💙
S2 Ep 4 is out now! In this ep, we hear from Louise Stevens, mum of 3, who speaks candidly about the loss of her beautiful son, Jack to JMML & the charity she & husband, Gary set up in his honour. We also hear about her campaigning around
#stemcelldonation
Just noticed that blood cancer charity,
@AnthonyNolan
only has 44k followers. There’s cats on here with more 😞. Can you all follow them and RT please Blues 💙
Can everyone please take a look at the website set up by
@Everton
legend Gary Stevens and his family to honour their son Jack. They’ve recently added to some merchandise that you might like
My daughter has just come across this appeal on Instagram.
The parents of this little fella are now desperately seeking a matching stem cell donor to help save his life.
It genuinely COULD BE YOU. You’ll only know if you join
@DKMS_uk
or

#FindAMatchForFrancis
💙
Please don’t ever think “it won’t be me”. It only takes 1 Evertonian to help save a life. Been there, and literally do have the T shirt. You may be the only person in the world who is a perfect match for Jack, or someone else in his situation 💙
#Bluesagainstbloodcancer
Gary Stevens is appealing for stem cell donors to come forward as his young son, Jack, continues his fight against leukaemia.

We're with you, Jack! 💙
There’s Everton related accounts on here with double, treble the amount of followers we have😢
Proof that accounts like this absolutely NEED help to inform people how easy it is to help save lives from leukaemia & other blood cancers

@richarlison97
A follow and a RT from you could see thousands of blues becoming potential lifesavers. We’re recruiting donors onto the

stem cell registers 🤞🏽
Someone somewhere joined the stem cell register and just happened to be a match for baby Francis. Now they’ve actually gone on to save his life 💙
Be someone’s special someone
I wish
@BluesVCancer
never existed.
We’re only here because of
@realgarystevens
and his family.
To be welcomed, so warmly, and genuinely meant everything 💙
As Gary said, we’ll “continue to fight the fight “💙

A wonderful banner to mark 10 sad years since we lost Gary Ablett to Leukaemia 😢. Please consider joining the

@DKMS_uk
stem cell register to help others in need 💙
Had a message last night from someone who’s very excited to have been identified as a potential matching stem cell donor by
@AnthonyNolan
. Definitely lifted my spirits 💚🖤 🤞🏽
So
@BurnleyOfficial
have banned A4 pieces of paper from their ground?
Thought they were big tough northerners?
Poor little snowflakes don’t like flags or paper now 🤦🏻♂️
Fast approaching 15 years since
@AnthonyNolan
got in touch to say that they thought I might be a match for a patient who needed a stem cell transplant. That started a chain of events that would save a life, and change mine forever (for the better) 💙💚🖤
This account was set up to help find a matching stem cell donor for the young son of
@Everton
legend Gary Stevens. Sadly, we weren’t able to help Jack, but we’re still trying to inspire more donors to join

It’s 18 months since young Jack passed away 😢 His parents are determined to improve the stem cell donor/recruitment process in Australia, as donors enter a global pool of potential lifesavers.
Can we add 18 donors to that pool in Jack’s honour? Go to

We’re delighted to confirm that our “Evening with

We will release a number of VVIP tickets £55 (meet & greet + food) in the next week or so 💙
RT’s appreciated
We wish this page never existed, but at the same time, we love the support it’s received, and the awareness that it’s raising.
Keep that stem cell conversation going 💙
Thanks to everyone who has followed/ RT’d for us this year. We set up to help find a matching stem cell donor for Gary Stevens’ young son. We didn’t manage that, but we’ll continue to promote the work of
@AnthonyNolan
and
@DKMS_uk
in Jack’s honour. 🤞🏽for more matches in 2022 💙
Just had a brainwave. Imagine
@hummel1923
knocked us up a few limited editions of this shirt, but with the Blues Against Blood Cancer logo on 😮😮😮😮 We could definitely raise funds for the two leading Blood Cancer charities by selling them 💙🙏
Don’t really know where to begin.
I’m exhausted, but absolutely blown away by the results of our first ever awareness event.
Got so many thank yous to put out, but I need my bed……. With this little lady 😜
See you all tomorrow, you beautiful blue bastards 💙
Feels like a ‘proud dad’ moment.
We’ve just received these from
@Bootle_FC
Under 16’s.
Can’t believe this idea came to life. Now every time they play, everyone involved will see our logo and keep the stem cell conversation going.
💙🧡
This is the little fella we were tweeting about yesterday.
Him and his family are local and really need YOUR help. Please register and tell your friends by sharing on all of your social platforms 💙❤️💙
Baby Francis was diagnosed with acute myeloid
#leukaemia
(AML) at just 15 weeks old. 💔
Now, he needs a
#stemcell
match from an unrelated donor to survive.
Visit to join the
#stemcell
register and share this post to help find his lifesaver. 🙏
Can’t begin to tell you how nervous we are about these tickets going on sale tomorrow 😬😬
£20 for an evening with the best keeper ever should be a no brainer for the Everton Da’s, Ma’s, La’s…. everyone in fact 💙
Thanks again to our sponsors
@ZodeqUK
💙
A massive thanks to the amazing
@suesmith8
and
@RainbowToffees
for their generosity. Sue has had the Sky Sports team signing a ball for us and she’s donated a signed
@Lionesses
shirt.
@RainbowToffees
have offered one of their amazing shirts as a prize. Winner to choose size etc💙
😬😬😬 We’ve just had a fantastic offer of a prize from the amazing
@bespokebarrels1
Please give them a follow…. Especially if you enjoy a beer in your home bar 😎
Gary Stevens and his wife are over from Australia later this year. We’d love to be able to tell them that ‘X number’ of people have joined the register in Jack’s honour.
Have you?
Let us know. If not, age 16-30 you can go to
@AnthonyNolan
or age 17-55 you can go to
@DKMS_uk
Remembering the 39 supporters who lost their lives at the Heysel Stadium on this day in 1985.
Thinking of their families and friends and the survivors
🖤🤍💙
Unbelievable. I’ve just come off a call from a mate, a massive
@Everton
fan, who’s wife, a young mother, has been diagnosed with a form of blood cancer 😢
Time to mobilise the Goodison Gang and get as many people as possible to join the register. Please RT
Just arranged to meet Gary and his wife Louise when they come over in October 💙
They’re the inspiration behind Blues Against Blood Cancer so it will be an honour to say hello💙
🚨 Save the date 🚨
Friday 8th November we will host our second stem cell awareness event.
Our confirmed guests at the moment are
@TrevorSteven63
,
@GiuliaBould
and the FA Cup !!
Venue and ticket details TBC
All profits from the event will go to
@AnthonyNolan
&
@DKMS_uk
Absolute tragedy for all involved. Thoughts to his family and friends.
Can everyone please just report and block the disrespectful troll posts that will inevitably appear on here? Don’t give them the attention they’re seeking 😢💙
Thought
@michaelkeane04
was
@Everton
man of the match today. Antonio will give most centre halves a tough day but thought Keane was really strong all game 👏🏽
Today is World Blood Cancer Awareness Day.
Every
@Everton
fan should be considering joining the stem cell register in Jack’s honour 💙and share this link
2023 has been a massive year for this little account.
The problem is that we need to be much bigger, if we’re going to make a difference.
Finding matching stem cell donors is basically a numbers game.
More people on register = more matches = more lives saved.
Please RT
💙💙
Blues,,, you are amazing. Only had the offer if £300 to
@AnthonyNolan
less than an hour ago and we’ve gone and smashed 1878 already 😱. Thank you all so much. That money could go to recruiting a lifesaving stem cell donor who needs a transplant 💙💙💙
Made up to hear that Gary Stevens’ young son has had a stem cell transplant, after his older brother was found to be a match. He’s lucky. 75% of people rely on a stranger to be their “Perfect Match”
