Hi and thank you for visiting our fundraising page. We are raising money for Leukaemia Research by taking part in the Weston Beach Race on October 12 this year (for more info on the Beach Race, please visit www.wbruk.com) We are all riding in Memory of Mel, and this is why: In May 2007, Simons' cousin Mel was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukaemia. She underwent several courses of intense chemotherapy, and radiotherapy which sadly had little effect on the horrible disease that was attacking her blood cells. She then underwent a stem cell transplant, followed by more chemo and radio therapy, and it was looking positive, the transplant seemed to have worked and follow up treatments were going ok. Sadly, just 8 months aftre the original diagnosis, Mel passed away after catching pneumonia and her body not having the strength to fight any more.
We also have our own website, which will keep you up to date on what we're doing to raise extra cash, and also gives you some info on all of us riding for this cause. Please have a look - www.riderappeal4leukaemia.webeden.co.uk Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to donate: Leukaemia Research will receive your money electronically and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in Gift Aid will be added to your donation at no cost to you.
Please donate generously, we can't reach our target without you!
Many thanks for your support.
