Rugby players help fight cancer

Members of Guernsey Rugby Club
The players are hoping to encourage other men to sign the register

Members of Guernsey Rugby Club have signed the bone marrow register in a drive to encourage others in the island to do the same.

A total of 20 players are taking part in the campaign by the Anthony Nolan Trust.

It aims to boost the number of people who could potentially help save the lives of leukaemia sufferers by donating bone marrow.

The charity is particularly looking for men aged between 18 and 40 to sign up.
