Royal Parks Half Marathon 2021 · 10 October 2021 ·
Our friend Luke was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukaemia in July 2020 and was treated at UCLH, receiving fantastic care while he was in the UK. Luke is now home in Sydney with his family.
Luke's friends started the Leukathon challenge to raise money for UCLH’s blood cancer charity, Haematology Cancer Care - helping our friend fight leukaemia through blood, sweat and tears!
