I want to help raise funds for this great cause and also challenge myself before my 52nd birthday (6th Oct) to run a half marathon.  It's going to be very hard and I'm not bothered about my time, I just want to complete it :-).  I might be the last person standing, but to finally get over the line, will be a once in a lifetime achievement for me.  I'm lucky to be able to have that chance, unlike some people I know who have lost their lives to blood cancer.

We're a community dedicated to beating blood cancer. We do this by funding research and supporting those affected. Since 1960, we've invested over £500 million in blood cancer research, transforming treatments and saving lives. Right now, our community is funding 360 researchers and staff across the UK who are searching for the next breakthrough. The day we will beat blood cancer is now in sight and the researchers are determined to finish the job.
