I am running the Manchester Marathon on October 10th to raise money for Blood Cancer. A close friend of mine recently lost his mum to Blood Cancer only 10 days after being diagnosed with no signs of being unwell. The total from this donation page will be sent over to his Blood Cancer page once the run has been completed.

Training has been hard due to work and life balance recently however the main thing is to get past the finish line and this will certainly spur me on.

Blood cancer is a type of cancer that affects your blood cells. Over 40,000 people are diagnosed with a blood cancer each year in the UK, and over 250,000 people are currently living with blood cancer.

Overall, the five-year survival rate for blood cancer is 70%. That means someone diagnosed with blood cancer is only 70% as likely to be alive in five years as someone their age who doesn't have cancer.

Thank you in advance for any donations, it is greatly appreciated. Together we can fight this awful disease and make a difference.

Thank you, Nathan
