The Simplyhealth Great Birmingham Run will take place on Sunday October 14th 2018 and Cure Leukaemia will have another strong team taking on the 13.1 miles to raise funds.

The team helped raise funds towards Cure Leukaemia's £1m Appeal in 2017 to fund the expansion of the Centre for Clinical Haematology at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham.

All funds raised by Cure Leukaemia's team this year will go towards funding vital specialist research nurses across the country. Without these nurses, blood cancer patients, that have exhausted standard treatments for the disease, would miss out on accessing pioneering and potentially life-saving drug and transplant therapies. Not only will these funds directly help save lives, they will also hasten global progress towards eradicating all forms of blood cancer within 25 years.
