- The Anthony Nolan Trust
Selsius' connection with the Anthony Nolan Trust came about when the Company Director's sister was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukaemia. Paula had up until this point been a fit and healthy 24 year old woman, so her diagnosis came as a real shock to all who knew her.
Following years of chemotherapy, her only chance of survival was to undergo a bone marrow transplant. Thankfully a donor was found through the Anthony Nolan Trust. Without the kindness of her donor and the tireless work of the charity, Paula would not be with us today.
Selsius has made a life long commitment to support the Anthony Nolan Trust by donating 5% of our profits each year as well as taking part in numerous fund raising events. Our donations help them to continue recruiting potential donors onto the register and also raise awareness of the charity's work.

On 5th October 2008 a team once again ran in the BUPA Great North Run. This year was a particularly special and emotional occasion as Paula herself completed the run for the very first time. The race marked the 6th anniversary of her transplant and received celebrity support from DJ Mark Goodier.
We always have an open invitation for you all to join in our future fundraising efforts. This November we are taking a team to USA for the New York Marathon, so give us a call if you are up for the challenge. Our events include zip slides, abseiling, swimming, running, walking with future plans to walk the Great Wall of China amongst others. Alternatively, a complete list of challenges and events can be found on the charity's website www.anthonynolan.org.uk but be sure to keep us informed so we can cheer you on!
