We're dedicated to beating blood cancer. We fund research and support those affected. Since 1960, we've invested over £500 million in blood cancer research, transforming treatments and saving lives. The day we beat blood cancer is now in sight and our researchers are determined to finish the job.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I decided to make two of my dreams come true: to do something to help others and run half marathon. I am doing this 21k (13.1 mile) run on 28th of October in London and I'm raising money for Leukemia and Lymphoma research.

Now you may wonder: why is she doing this? Well, I don't have clear answer for that. I have noticed that ever since I moved here in UK I have become more sentimental. Maybe I miss my friends and family or maybe this crazy country has woken me up for good. I just feel this huge passion to do something that really matters. And I find blood cancer research extremely important.

This is my very first fundraising project, so I was a bit afraid to set my target too high. You can also follow my training on my blog: http://justbeatingit.blogspot.co.uk :)

I'm sure we can do this! Together we can be unstoppable!
