<p><span style="font-family: Calibri; color: #000000;">Hi All,</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Calibri; color: #000000;">Myself, Konny and Joe are running the Chester Half Marathon in memory our good friend and my brother from another mother Alex McGrory on May 13th.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Calibri; color: #000000;">As most of you will know Alex had been battling Leukaemia for nearly 2 years before sadly passing away just days after celebrating his 23rd Birthday with all his family and friends.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: #fafafa; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">For many people with blood cancer, a stem cell transplant is their last chance of life. For the transplant to be a success they need to find the right match. As the UK’s most successful stem cell register, Anthony Nolan help people like Alex find that match.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: #fafafa; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">Although Alex's body unfortunately rejected both his transplants, every day, Anthony Nolan help two people in need of a lifesaving transplant by using their register to find remarkable donors who have matching stem cells.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Calibri; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: #fafafa; color: #000000;">With our support and donations they can help try save even more lives.</span></p>
