Story

This is for Howard!

Howard Campion was an amazing Grandad, Dad and Husband. He
was an entertainer, an all-round gentleman and an inspiration to all that met him. 

His diagnosis came with a predicted 6 months left, but he battled with Leukaemia for 4 years 8 months, not letting it slow him down in the slightest. He spent these years surrounded by family, going on family holidays to Spain and around the UK, up dancing at birthday celebrations and playing games at Christmas. Telling stories about his childhood and his glory days, making us cringe and laugh. He was an incredible man, and on the 17th November 2020 his battle ended.

We owe the last 4 years and 8 months to research charities. Without their vital work and breakthroughs, we would have lost out on so many memories with Howard. These charities are the reason the 6 months turned into years. 

In his honour we vow to raise £12,200 for Leukaemia and Myeloma Research UK, to help them provide other families with extra time to make memories, to hear laughs and to treasure each smile.

About the charity

Our vision is to be the leading UK blood cancer charity specialising in stem cell therapy. We actively support stem cell research into blood cancers, raise awareness of stem cell therapies and offer a free stem cell storage service for qualifying families, which we call Model Cell Biobank.
