Reporter Sue Lloyd-Roberts' bid for stem cell match

Sue Lloyd-Roberts is an award-winning journalist who's worked for both the BBC and ITN, and was the first reporter into Homs in Syria - smuggled into town in the back of a car.

She was also sentenced in her absence in China to seven years in prison for some of her reporting and was one of the first to talk about female genital mutilation.

Ms Lloyd-Roberts has now been diagnosed with an aggressive form of leukaemia and urgently needs a donor whose tissue type is the same as hers so she can have a stem cell transplant.

She told Victoria Derbyshire potential donors need to be aged between 16 and 30.
