Raising money for

ACLT

Charity Registration No. 1119516

The ACLT aims to raise awareness and increase black, mixed race and ethnic minority representation on the world bone marrow registers and to promote blood donation. The chances of finding a match are greater if potential bone marrow donors are from the same racial background as the recipient. The ACLT has raised the numbers of black and mixed race people registered in the UK from 550 to 25,000 since 1996 and directly recruited at least 20 donors who have gone on to donate bone marrow/stem cells to sufferers. .

My story

Hi everyone

As you probably already know I've been training like crazy recently and am raising money for the African Caribbean Leukaemia Trust (the ACLT).

I have already started by completing the Adidas Womens 5k Challenge, which I did on 6 September 2009 in 24 minutes and 11 seconds, and my first half marathon, at the Run to the Beat event on 27 September 2009 in 2 hours and 2 minutes.

To finish I will be running against thousands of other runners across the globe on Saturday 24 October 2009 in the Nike Human Race 10k. (For those of you who have seen my initial email for sponsorship, the ACLT run has been postponed until 2010, but hopefully I will be participating in that as well).

I would really appreciate it if you could sponsor me, no matter how big or small the donation. The ACLT is such a fantastic cause and organisation, and thanks to the charity, a number of black and mixed race patients who need a bone marrow or stem cell transplants are actually getting them and going on to lead healthy lives.

To make life easier I thought I'd better catch up with the technology and set up a Just Giving page. Any donations would relate to me completing all three races. Just Giving is a really easy and efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate.

Thank you!
