Sign up and join Team Myeloma UK in the 20 for 20 challenge!

We've joined forces with 20 other charities for lesser known cancers, to launch an exciting 20-day challenge.

Choose any activity that you would like to challenge yourself to do for 20 days any time from September 20th - December 20th 2021. This could be painting, running, baking or cycling- the opportunities are endless! Start your challenge and ask your friends, family and colleagues to sponsor you to raise vital funds for Myeloma UK.

COVID-19 has led to a fall in the number of people diagnosed with all kinds of cancer. Fewer people have come forward with symptoms and some people with rare and less common cancers also faced delays or changes to their treatment and had difficulty accessing support.

Currently, more than half of myeloma patients wait over five months to get the right diagnosis and around one third of myeloma patients are diagnosed through an emergency route. We also know that the COVID-19 pandemic has caused additional barriers to myeloma diagnosis so the wait for many will be longer.

Over the last 18 months, fundraising has been hugely impacted, yet cancer remains a priority for the 20 for 20 charities, so they can continue to provide vital guidance and support so desperately needed. Your help can enable them to continue with their work.

You can create your very own JustGiving page by clicking on the 'Start Fundraising' button above or you can use this page to leave a donation or message of support. Either way, please share with friends, family and colleagues to raise as much sponsorship as possible.
