20 brisk walks for MDS UK Patient Support group, 20 September 2020
20 for 20 for MDS UK.
Campaign by MDS UK (RCN 1145214)
MDS UK is participating in the 20 for 20 campaign to raise funds and awareness to tackle the impact of COVID-19 and needs YOUR help!

Story

I was diagnosed 12 years ago with a very rare blood cancer called Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukaemia (CMML). This makes me extremely vulnerable to infections which is an even greater worry during this COVID-19 pandemic.  Shielding during lockdown restricted my usual walking and I also have a very enlarged spleen which restricts the type of exercise and fundraising I can do.  No bungee-jumping for me!! I now need to get back into exercising a bit more and I hope this 20-minute brisk walk - whilst fundraising for MDS UK - will give me the incentive to get fitter!

MDS UK is the only charity in the UK providing vital support, information, advice and conducting research solely into Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS)- a rare blood cancer where the bone marrow fails to produce healthy blood cells. We are a small charity that needs YOUR support!
