Registering as a stem cell donor could save someone's life. Tasneem Ali is a Leicester GP. Her son had blood cancer, and as a parent she wants to raise more awareness of how to become a donor of stem cells. She's now joined forces with DKMS, a blood stem cell charity, to get more people from ethnic minorities to sign up. And in a few weeks she's bringing a donor drive event at the Highcross Shopping centre. She joined Letitia George to explain further.
