Michael Bibi invites stem cell charity to homecoming gig
Anthony Nolan, a charity close to the DJ's heart following his battle with cancer last year, will be on site to encourage partygoers to sign up to the stem cell register
Michael Bibi has invited stem cell transplant charity Anthony Nolan to his One Life London homegoing gig tomorrow (July 6).
The charity will be on-site at the sold-out gig, set to be London's "biggest ever electronic show", to help recruit attendees to sign up to the stem cell register. One Life London marks Bibi's first London show since recovering from cancer last year.
The charity does crucial work linking those in need of transplants with potential donors, a cause that is close to the the DJ/producer and label head's heart following his own treatment at London's Royal Marsden Hospital after being diagnosed with a rare nervous system lymphoma in 2022.

“Advancements in medical treatments like stem cell transplants gave me a second chance at life and are crucial in battling these conditions," says Michael Bibi. "Together, our community can make a difference. That's why Anthony Nolan staff and volunteers will be at my homecoming show, ready to sign people up to the stem cell register.”
“Anthony Nolan is a charity dedicated to ensuring that everyone who needs a lifesaving stem cell transplant finds a match," he continues. "So, if you’re coming down to celebrate life in Finsbury Park make sure you visit the Anthony Nolan stand."
"By becoming part of the stem cell community, you could give the gift of life." He concluded, "London is my home, and this event is going to be a special one. One life, Live it.”

A number of Anthony Nolan staff and volunteers will be on-site to encourage some of the 45,000 partygoers to sign up for the stem cell register.
The charity will particularly be looking to speak to young men and those from minority ethnic backgrounds, as well as those aged 16-30, given the increased efficacy of stem cell transplants from this age group.
The organisation said, “your stem cells could hold the key to someone's survival and that starts with a simple swab.”
