A sprint triathlon: 750m swim, 20km cycle, 5km run for University College London Hospitals Charity UK because my friend Luke is currently fighting leukaemia · 24 October 2020 ·

For 30 years patients and staff have been choosing to support Haematology Cancer Care because we help the Haematology Service deliver transformational treatment and personalised care at UCLH.

Story

We are joining the Leukathon along with our friend Lizzie Chapman, whose husband Luke was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukaemia in July 2020. Luke is currently being treated at UCLH in London, where he is receiving fantastic care. When we found out Lizzie was doing a sprint triathlon around London in his honour, we had to get on board! Hopefully the indoor swim is less chilly that our dip in the English Channel on a recent trip to Cornwall (see pic above). Like Lizzie, we are raising money for UCLH's blood cancer charity, Haematology Cancer Care.  

The charity says: 
We have a strong community of patients, families and staff committed to supporting haematological cancers through fundraising activities and events. Uniquely, we are run by senior clinical staff working closely with all haematology teams and haematology patients ensuring donations make a significant impact on the services here at UCLH.We provide wide-ranging support including high-tech medical equipment and research projects, free complementary therapy for patients and families and specialist education for nurses across five inpatient wards, day-care, ambulatory care and young adult and outpatient services
