Anthony Nolan was born with a rare genetic disease in the 1970's. At that time, doctors gave him no chance of survival.
A Kiss Through Glass is his mother's story in her own words. A story of love and dedication that embraced the world.
Shirley Nolan tells with amazing honesty of the heartbreak and joys in the relentless battle to save her son. She relates how she established the Anthony Nolan Bone Marrow Appeal, a unique medical project that has saved the lives of thousands.
To recognise Shirley Nolan's legacy, and the 50th Anniversary of the charity she founded, her story has been republished alongside an analysis of her impact and personal testimonies from some of those who have benefited from her lifesaving actions.
Tragically, she was not able to save Anthony but, through his death, others are living today and the future offers real hope for the patients of tomorrow
