Francesca v Birmingham Half Marathon

Simplyhealth Great Birmingham Run 2019 · 13 October 2019 ·
Nearly a year ago my lovely friend Sara was diagnosed with my myeloma, a really horrible form of blood cancer. I have been completely humbled by how she has dealt with this terrible diagnosis, endless treatments, procedures, medication and, stem cell transplant. She is quite simply bloody heroic.
I’ll be taking on my first half-marathon on Sara’s behalf to raise money for her nominated charity - Cure Leukaemia. This Birmingham based charity has funded and trained brilliant specialist nurses to work across the region and in the unit where she is receiving treatment. Nurses like Brooke, who herself was fighting for her own life at 17 and is now a, thanks to the charity, a haematology nurse.
Any donations, however small, are going to a really worthwhile cause.
