Hello
The photo is of me warming up for my second 10k - in July last year - and at that time I thought that was far too far to run. The reality of running 21k (more than 13 miles ) is only just sinking in! As I only took up running just over 2 years ago this is quite a challenge for me though I was very thrilled when, in May this year, I did the BUPA 10,000m run with my daughters and several of their friends, all in their mid to late 20s and, having adjusted my time to take account of my age, it emerged that I had actually beaten all of them!
I am very conscious of the fact that there are requests like this almost daily and it isn't possible to support everything. However, this is a cause in which I have a particular interest, it having affected 2 members of my family, and any support you feel you would like to give, whatever it is, will be very much appreciated.
24,500 people of all ages - from the very young to the very old - develop a blood cancer in the UK every year and as the UK's leading blood cancer research charity, LR commits over £20m to research and clinical trials annually in pursuit of its main goals: to discover the causes of blood cancers, to understand how blood cells become cancerous, to refine diagnostic methods for rapid and accurate assessment of these diseases and to devise new treatments and improve the quality of life of patients.
Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Leukaemia Research gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid is added to your donation.
So please sponsor me now!
