My mums partner - Karl Richards was diagnosed with Chronic myelomonocytic leukemia in 2022. It is a cruel, ruthless and isolating illness that takes no mercy. It is a hard thing to accept when there is little you can do to help cure or eliminate the cancer. I would hope one day with fundraising like this, we can help beat blood cancer!!

I have joined #TEAMLC to run the London Marathon 2026. Please help me to support everyone affected by a blood cancer diagnosis in the UK.Leukaemia Care is a national charity dedicated to ensuring that anyone affected by blood cancer receives the right information, advice and support. Around 34,000 people are affected by blood cancer each year in the UK and we're here to support them through their diagnosis, treatment and beyond.
