We're dedicated to beating blood cancer. We fund research and support those affected. Since 1960, we've invested over £500 million in blood cancer research, transforming treatments and saving lives. The day we beat blood cancer is now in sight and our researchers are determined to finish the job.

Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span lang="EN-GB">&nbsp;</span></span></span></p> <p dir="ltr">I'm running the Manchester 10k for Leukaemia and Lymphoma Research. For those of you who don't know me, my brother Steven died at the age of 19 after a long battle with Leukaemia. Inspired by him and many others who have suffered through this disease I am aiming to raise &pound;500 to help fund further research and help find a way to beat blood cancer so please give as much as you can.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Around 28,500 people are diagnosed with a blood cancer in the UK every year. Leukaemia &amp; Lymphoma Research is the only UK charity dedicated to&nbsp;finding better treatments and cures for all blood cancers, including leukaemia, lymphoma and myeloma.</strong></p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p> <p>So please dig deep and donate now. Thanks</p> <p>Barry</p>
