Mr Sudbury was diagnosed in 2006
A father whose son died from leukaemia has called for a new law requiring school and college students to be taught about donating blood, organs and stem cells.
Keith Sudbury's son Adrian, a 27-year-old journalist from Sheffield, died in August 2008.
Mr Sudbury spent the final few months of his life campaigning to raise awareness of bone marrow donation.
The campaign has been backed by blood cancer charity Anthony Nolan.
Mr Sudbury said: "We urgently need more people willing to donate blood and stem cells.
"By taking this message to students aged 16 years and over we can grow the first generation of potential lifesavers who really understand what it means to donate blood, organs and stem cells."
Adrian Sudbury, a Huddersfield Examiner journalist, was diagnosed with two types of leukaemia. A bone marrow transplant proved unsuccessful and doctors said the disease was terminal.
He took a petition of 11,300 signatures to Downing Street, prompting the then prime minister Gordon Brown to write to celebrities to raise awareness of the campaign.
More young people
Anthony Nolan is now campaigning to increase the number of young people on its register.
It said there were nearly 1,600 people in the country in need of a blood stem cell transplant - usually their last chance of survival.
Nearly three-quarters of patients will not find a matching donor from within their family, it added.
Young people are much more likely to be selected as a match for stem cell donation but 18 to 30-year-olds make up 12% of the register.
In memory of their son, Mr Sudbury and Adrian's mother Kay Sudbury developed a school education programme called Register And Be A Lifesaver, which Anthony Nolan delivers in collaboration with NHS Blood and Transplant.
