We fund a network of expert research nurses to help save blood cancer patients' lives

Story

I hadn’t set out to run for charity, but now that race day’s fast approaching, I’ve realised I’d feel a bit selfish if a good cause wasn’t benefitting from all my huffing and puffing! 

My elder sister died of leukaemia at the age of 9 and today, many years later, one person is still diagnosed with blood cancer every 14 minutes. For that reason, I’d be really grateful for any donations, however small, to support the tremendous work of Cure Leukaemia (see below for more info) - one of the marathon’s Associate Charities.

Cure Leukaemia helps blood cancer patients to access pioneering drug and transplant treatments by funding a network of specialist research nurses across the UK. Without these nurses, to ensure patients are monitored and cared for, clinical trials of these new treatments would not run and patients, that have exhausted standard treatment options, would miss out on potentially lifesaving therapies. Every penny raised for Cure Leukaemia helps save lives and also hastens global progress towards the eradication of all forms of blood cancer.

Thanks for taking the trouble to read this and donate!
