<p>Hi guys,</p> <p>I was diagnosed with Aplastic Anaemia in 2005. I have since had two courses of treatment that left me in remission until Spring 2011. My AA has now come back and I have also developed MDS (myelodysplastic syndrome) which is the early stages of leukemia. I am now dependent on blood transfusions every 2-3 weeks to keep me going.</p> <p>The next stage is for me to have a bone marrow transplant which is due on the 8th August thanks to my amazing donor!!&nbsp; Not everyone is as lucky as me though and they will still be waiting to find their donor.</p> <p>I am doing this run/walk to help raise awareness of the Antony Nolan charity, to encourage people to register to donate bone marrow and to help raise money.</p> <p>For more information about donating bone marrow please look on the Anthony Nolan website or ask me for further details.</p> <p>I know its only a 10km run, but I promise you that this will be hard work for me!! There are days when walking up the stairs will make me out of breath so please support me in this!!</p> <p>Thank you!</p>
