I am running the 2024 Berlin Marathon and helping raise funds for Anthony Nolan.
These facts show how important this charity is, and why I want to fund raise for them:
- Every 14 minutes, someone is diagnosed with blood cancer or a related disorder.
- Over 2,000 people in the UK are in need of a bone marrow or stem cell transplant every year.
- Only one in three patients will have a matching donor in their family. That means two thirds of people turn to Anthony Nolan to find them an unrelated donor.
- We give a chance of life to three people every day.
- It costs about £40 to recruit each potential donor to the stem cell register
