A family very close to us had their world turned upside down when they received the news that their son Frankie Brown, aged just 18 months was diagnosed with Leukaemia. 

We’ve been inspired by Frankie and his families incredible strength of character, who remains the life and soul of Birmingham Children’s hospital, despite countless blood transfusions and going through Chemotherapy at such a young age. 

Needless to say, we’re all hopeful that the treatment and care of the amazing staff at Birmingham Childrens Hospital will ensure that eventually Frankie will be cured. 

Unfortunately this is not always the case and so we are hoping to raise money for Cure Leukaemia in the hope that one day, no families will have to endure what the Brown family are going through. 

We will therefore be running the Simply Health Great Birmingham Run which we assure you is no mean feat for us lot! 

Cure Leukaemia helps blood cancer patients to access pioneering drug and transplant treatments by funding a network of specialist research nurses across the UK. Without these nurses, to ensure patients are monitored and cared for, clinical trials of these new treatments would not run and patients, that have exhausted standard treatment options, would miss out on potentially lifesaving therapies. Every penny raised for Cure Leukaemia helps save lives and also hastens global progress towards the eradication of all forms of blood cancer.

Thank you all for your support!
