Readers will remember the article we ran at the beginning of the week about the plight of six year old Finley Morris.
Finley has Leukaemia and desperately needs a bone marrow transplant.
Details have now been released about the donor recruitment day, when residents are able to be tested for suitability of being a bone marrow donor.
It will be taking place at the Riverside Centre, Newport on Sunday 6th October between 11am-5pm.
Find out if you’re a suitable match
You need to be 18-55 years old, you can be tested and registered at 17 but cant donate until you’re 18.
The test, which is a simple mouth swab, is being provided by Delete Blood Cancer UK.
Raising money for Delete Blood
The donor recruitment day has been organised by Finley’s parents, Carole and Jason.
They’re hoping to raise money for Delete Blood Cancer UK on the day as well as possibly other charities that are supporting Finley and his family.
There’ll be a raffle and cake sale.
Entertainment will be provided by Island band Cornerstone and Island magician Huxley Hunt who have both donated their time for free.
