Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page!

On the 17th of September 2017, at 14:17 I lost my Grandmother, Jose. She suffered from a number of issues that ended up being too much, due to a type of Leukaemia called Large Granular Lymphocyle Leukaemia (or LGLL). My Grandmother loved gardening and family. When she wasn't out pruning or planting, she would be giving me spelling tests, or watching the old Disney films with my sister and I.

I want to raise money for Bloodwise to help them find a cure for this disease, whilst providing care and support for those currently undergoing treatment.

LGLL is a very rare type of cancer. Around 200 people in the UK are diagnosed each year, the causes of LGLL are not known, but it’s important to understand that LGLL is not a condition which can be caught from someone else (contagious) and it can’t passed on from parent to child (inherited).

Here's a little bit on what the fundraising will go towards:

£100 will help reach out to blood cancer patients when they need help the most, by providing 150 hospital waiting rooms with information posters that
show the ways Bloodwise can help.

£200 would ensure every single person diagnosed with blood cancer today is armed with vital knowledge of their disease – by sending them high quality
patient information booklets.

£500 would fund a nurse to provide patients help, support, and a hand to hold at one of our ground- breaking clinical trials for three days!
