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

Story


Booths Supermarkets Preston have set a challenge to tour each of their stores over 5 days in aid of raising money for cure leukaemia. The route distance is 616km (Preston to Lands End Cornwall is 613km) and 5707 metres of climbing (Mount Kilimanjaro is 5895m) covering the Lake district, North Yorkshire, Preston and Lytham. 

Waterfields Bakery have been supplying Booths supermarket for over 30 years. Our product listing range from freshly baked bread and rolls to fresh cream cake confectionery and savoury products. 

I have decided to join the Booths team on the tour starting on the 24th May 2021 finishing on 28th May. My target is to raise £1000 in aid of cure leukaemia. 


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.
