Gulp! Im attempting my first (and possibly last) Triathlon this June! This is a great cause and your help would be much appreciated! Unfortunately we've all been affected by the "c" word in one way or another and any help towards fighting the disease in any form will hopefully one day change someone's life. As difficult and time consuming as the training is, its nothing compared to the emotional and physical anguish it must be to live with blood cancer or love and care for someone with it. Give me your money and watch me humiliate myself in June! Il be the one crying into my cycle helmet...

Research: We fund research to improve treatment and care for people living with all types of blood cancer, including leukaemia, lymphoma and myeloma.
