    Rankin and Anthony Nolan team up to capture the power of a silent thank you

    World-renowned photographer Rankin has teamed up with blood cancer charity Anthony Nolan to capture the power of silent thank you in a beautiful film.

    On average, people in the UK say ‘thank you’ 59 times a day, whether that’s walking through a door someone’s opened for you, accepting change over a shop counter or a cuppa from someone doing a tea run.

    But what about the times when ‘thank you’ is just so hard to say?

    This is often the case for people with blood cancer who have had a stem cell transplant – the words ‘thank you’ never seem enough when speaking to someone who has saved your life.

    To mark Blood Cancer Awareness Month, Anthony Nolan worked with world-renowned portrait photographer Rankin to capture the power – and the limitations – of saying thank you.

    His photos capture the struggle of six people trying to find the words to say ‘thank you’ to the lifesaving stem cell donors who transformed their lives.
