Story

Hello again. What a year! Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. I know I know, I said I would never run the marathon again, so grueling was the first attempt, I ran for over 5 hours in the non stop rain and ended up with two blown out knees. My body is also a little battered from the silverstone and liverpool half marthons so pray for me! However, I realized I cannot turn my back, because the leukaemia sufferer cannot turn their need for a donor off. Lets partner and do something about it. One way is to become a potential bone marrow donor (if you're 18 -40), by joining the Anthony Nolan bone marrow register and see if you are a match, another easier way is donating money to The Anthony Nolan trust via this website so they can continue their exhaustive search for matches. It costs the charity upto £70 every time they recruit and test a potential new lifesaver, so its very costly to look for a donor, for the family of the young person who is suffering. Which is why supporting the Anthony Nolan trust is so important. Please dig deep and sponsor me online.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Anthony Nolan Trust will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please sponsor me now!

Many thanks for your support. Please come along to the event if you can cheering along the way helps immensely. Thank you for those who helped last year by donating, cheering and being kind. I hope to see you at the finish line. Phina
