Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am one of the Co-founders of this revolutionary and world-class charity and I am proud to be riding this with the man who saved my life Professor Charlie Craddock.

In February 2001, I was diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML), aged just 41, after having an MRI scan to investigate a niggling knee injury. Everything had been going fantastically. I was enjoying life and my wife was expecting our third child. I couldn’t have been happier.

My brother was not a close enough match for me to have a transplant and I was given three years to live which was absolutely devastating. 

I was referred to Professor Craddock and he had some great news. He told me that he had managed to secure three places on a clinical trial for a promising drug being trialled in the US called ST1571. Two had been taken but I could have the last place.

Getting on a clinical trial saved my life. It’s now been 14 years since I was diagnosed, which is time I didn’t think I had.

Please help me reach and surpass my £1,500 target because without Cure Leukaemia I would not be here now. Please give what you can because it will help save lives, I am proof of that.

Thank you,

Graham
