Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

After a friend's husband was diagnosed with Myeloma we wanted to do something to help. Peter McCleave is 40 years old, husband and father to two boys, Max 8 and Seb 5, an Ironman finisher, rugby coach and tri-athlete.

After being diagnosed with an incurable blood cancer he's been given 7 years to live unless he finds a stem-cell match. 

We want to persuade as many people to sign up to be stem-cell donors. Only 2% of the population are currently signed up and it's a two-minute task - request a pack, take a swab from the inside of your cheek and post it back.

If you were lucky enough to be a match, it's a similar procedure to giving blood, completed as an outpatient. (90% of donors donate this way)

To register visit DKMS or www.10000donors.com

To raise funds for DKMS,  a group of us are completing a three-hour aerobithon, lead by personal trainer and fitness guru Mary Richardson and yoga teacher Sally. Three hours of non-stop, intense exercise followed by some gentle stretches!

A smaller group are then entering the Full Tough Mudder in September - 26 obstacles across a wet, muddy, 10-mile course!

Please help us to raise as much money for DKMS and encourage as many people as possible to join the register for stem-cell donors.

Someone is diagnosed with blood cancer in the UK every 20 minutes, and many will need a blood stem cell transplant for a second chance at life. We are committed to increasing the number of potential blood stem cell donors in the UK, so that there is a donor for everyone who needs one.
