“I could have died without my daughters knowing anything about my life. I dedicate my book to them and my friend, double donor Axel - without him the story would have ended a long time ago!”

The recipient of two stem cell transplants has written a book about his incredible life - and a percentage of the profits will go to Anthony Nolan and Delete Blood Cancer UK, to help find more lifesaving matches.

Eric Evans, a businessman who survived civil war, terrorist attacks, and the blood cancer myelofibrosis, spent over a decade writing Diamonds for Rice. He's urging others to sign up as stem cell donors, comparing them to the precious diamonds he used to buy passage out of wartorn Liberia;

"Donors are diamonds – precious and hard to find. Our campaign, I am sure, will uncover more of these gems. We must raise vital funds for Anthony Nolan and Delete Blood Cancer UK, so that they can find more ‘diamonds'."

The book's official launch will be announced soon. To pick up your copy of Diamonds for Rice, visit the Delete Blood Cancer UK webstore.
