They are having a recruitment clinic at Hyndburn Fire Station, Hyndburn Road, Accrington BB5 4ED, on Thursday 26th Febuary, 2009. 4pm-8pm.

There is more details on their website.

you could save her life !

It seems a very worthy cause to try and help advertise, and I wish them all the very best, and hope they eventually find a match, and that her lovely kids grew up knowing their mum for a very long time to come.
This is a really a sad situation my heart goes out to the lady and her family i will be attending on Thursday. Thanks for informing people.
