Margot Martini: Song and music are released in memory of the inspirational toddler for bone marrow campaign

Two aspiring musicians who were touched by the two-year-old's story have recorded 'Light the Way' with the aim of raising awareness of the pressing need for people to join stem cell registers across the world.

Grace Hynds and Daniella Bernard, both aged 18, performed the ballad with the help of fellow students and college tutors as well as various professional musicians, including a string quartet from the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra and a 17-strong choir.

The song and music video has been produced by students and industry professionals at Elstree University Technical College in Borehamwood, Hertfordshire, in conjunction with Margot's family, who are from Wolverhampton and London.

It is widely available from today at no charge.

Viewers and listeners are being urged to register as potential stem cell donors as soon as possible, and to then encourage one more person to do the same.

Margot's father Yaser Martini said: "We are hoping the song and music video will help engage and motivate 1.1 million people to join the stem cell register, which reflects our aspiration to double the current size and potency of the combined UK registers.

"We accept that this is a fantastic target to aim at but then the British people are fantastically benevolent, so we are reaching out to them and calling upon each and every person in the general public to take action and participate in a direct and unique way –to potentially save someone' s life.

"Thousands of patients are urgently seeking a donor match and they need help right now."

Launch of the song is being accompanied by a nationwide advertising campaign, including a spot on the curve lights on Piccadilly Circus.

Today is the third anniversary of the Essington youngster first being diagnosed with leukaemia. It also marks Team Margot Foundation's international registration day where her family hope they can prevent others going through the heartache of having to find potential donors by getting more people to register.

Around 2,000 people in the UK and 37,000 across the world are in desperate need of a bone marrow transplant – but finding one is rare.

Margot's story touch thousands of people across the world when she was diagnosed with two rare types of leukaemia in 2013 aged just 14 months. Her appeal for a bone marrow donor saw Team Margot formed by friends and family and a celebrity-backed campaign.

Her mixed ethnicity made it even harder to find a match but in February 2014 one was made. She underwent a bone marrow transplant and, at first, the signs were positive. Tragically, however, the leukaemia was aggressive and she re-lapsed and died on October 27, 2014.

At the start of 2015, the Team Margot Foundation was formed with the aim of increasing the number of people on the UK stem cell register which matches bone marrow donors.

Anyone aged between 16 to 55 years old and in general good health can join the registers.

Mr Martini added: "We feel very proud of the girls, the other students and everyone involved – it' s an emotional journey that we' re on and we hope that people engage with the song and video and take positive action, in their own time and in their own way. You might be the only one who can save a life."

Songwriter, Grace Hynds said: "I fell in love with the charity in its ambition to unite people in registering as potential donors for such a life changing cause."

Composer Daniella Bernard added: "We hope this song will encourage millions to continue saving lives."

The video can also be streamed on Apple Music, Deezer, KKBox, SoundCloud, Spotify, or Tidal.
