Gemma

Gemma had a bone marrow transplant at GOSH after she was diagnosed with leukocyte adhesion deficiency, an extremely rare disorder that hindered the response of her white blood cells to skin infection or injury. It meant that her skin was unable to heal itself. Gemma, 11, received bone marrow from an unrelated UK donor and is now well on the way to recovery. Although not a fan of hospitals, she likes GOSH.

"I know a lot of people here now," she says.

Last year there were 57 bone marrow transplants at GOSH.
