My story

 

Last year, my father, Jose-Antonio Laguillo, a long-time Leukaemia sufferer, passed away at Hammersmith Hospital where he had been receiving exemplary care and support at their specialist facilities.

I am raising sponsorship for Leukaemia Care who provide a valuable support service for individuals, and their families, affected by Leukaemia.

On Monday, 14th September, I will begin a cycle ride from Bilbao (Spain) to Bath (England) in Dad's memory, hoping to cover something in excess of 700 miles inside 7 days. Just hope I have done my sums right!

Please join me in supporting this charity, which provides a valuable service to those currently receiving treatment for Leukaemia at Hammersmith Hospital.


The blurb:

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’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’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.
