The 1 in 4m odds couple

A MARRIED couple are one in four million after both becoming stem cell donors and giving a lifeline to two cancer patients.

Nirav and Kanan Chokshi were called separately to donate stem cells to adult leukaemia patients in need of potentially life-saving transplants.

Those joining the NHS Stem Cell Donor Registry have a one in 2,000 chance of being called to donate. The odds lengthen to one in four million for a husband and wife both to be called, estimates the NHS Blood and Transplant.

Mechanical engineer Mr Chokshi, 43, signed on to the registry in 2016 and donated two years later.
