Story
THE CHALLENGE
Simple. To run as many races as possible in 2013. This will include multiple 10k's and half marathons finishing with a full marathon towards the end of the year.
THE CHARITY
Anthony Nolan is a pioneering charity that saves the lives of people with blood cancer who need a blood stem cell, or bone marrow transplants. They set up the world's first bone marrow register in 1974 and today, two people needing a transplant are matched every day with potential donors.
Anthony Nolan also carry out world class research into stem cell matching and transplants.
THE GOAL
Our goal is not just to raise money but also raise awareness of the vital work that Anthony Nolan does. To carry out the pioneering work they do in matching donors and research, the charity need money and more importantly, donors.
GET INVOLVED
There are 3 ways you can help us achieve our goal.
1.Donate some money
Anthony Nolan is a charity and needs public support to continue its work. Every little counts so please give what you can.
- Make a one off donation in support of all the training and running we are doing in 2013
- Make a small donation per race. Why not donate £2 per race? This will raise more money throughout the year, spreads the cost and will motivate us to run more!
Donate here through our Just Giving page.
Get a reminder to donate, just email me and I will send you a reminder before each race.

2.Register to be a donor
Anthony Nolan is all about saving lives and to do this they need donors. Only 30% of people needed a transplant find a match within their family. The rest turn to Anthony Nolan.
Click on the link below, fill in an application online (10 mins) and they will send you a spit kit. Spit in it and send it back and that's it, you are on the register and could have just saved someone's life. How cool is that?!
