Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. My friend’s daughter Lisa Wilson-Hargreaves lost her courageous fight with Acute Myloid Leukemia (AML) on 1st Aug 2005, aged just 22. Throughout her diagnosis and treatment, she never once gave up, but showed true fight & spirit throughout.

Lisa was diagnosed in April 2004, and Lisa’s Dad looked after and cared for her until the final moments of her life. It turned out to be a real team effort with everyone pulling in the right direction for Lisa, including her husband Gary, brother Callum, sister Hayley, and Laura, her best friend.

I’m running the London Marathon in memory of Lisa and as a group of friend’s we are passing ‘Lisa’s Baton’ but I’m also trying to raise money for Anthony Nolan, the charity that helps people with blood cancer. They use their register to match patients in desperate need of transplant with people willing to donate their blood stem cells. Sadly they can still only find a match for around half the people who come to them in need, so they want to add more donors to the register, provide more matches, and help save more lives – but they need money in order to do this. Please give whatever you can – all donations, no matter how big or small, are much appreciated.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
