Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am hoping to raise money for Myeloma UK,  the only organisation in the UK dealing exclusively with myeloma. Myeloma - also known as multiple myeloma or myelomatosis - is a cancer of plasma cells in the bone marrow and is one of three types of blood cancer.

Myeloma doesnt attract the same attention as leukaemia or breast cancer but is just as important. I strongly believe that with enough revenue, myeloma can be fully understood, treated and eventually deleted.

Myeloma is the second most common type of blood cancer. There are about 4,000 new cases per year in the UK and myeloma represents approximately 1% of all cancers and about 15% of all blood cancers. Blood cancers as a group make up about 20% of all cancers.

Generally, the causes of myeloma are not known. Exposure to certain chemicals, radiation, viruses and a weakened immune system are thought to be potential causes or trigger factors. It is possible that myeloma develops when a susceptible individual has been exposed to one or more of these factors.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now...I really appreciate it!

Thank you
