Someone is diagnosed with blood cancer in the UK every 20 minutes, and many will need a blood stem cell transplant for a second chance at life. We are committed to increasing the number of potential blood stem cell donors in the UK, so that there is a donor for everyone who needs one.

Story

Every 20 minutes someone in the UK is 

diagnosed with blood cancer. Last year that was a family member of ours. Ian Witham was diagnosed with a very rare form of Leukaemia and urgently needs to find a bone marrow match. 

DKMS help people like Ian find lifesaving matches, but of course this comes at a cost. The cost of registering one potential donor is £40, we are aiming to raise enough money to cover at least 25 donor kits.

Katie has never run more than 5k in her life and for those that know Tom will know he is the most injury prone man around so it's going to be tough but the thought of 13 miles to help fund 13+ potential donors will be keeping us going!

If you would like to try and help Ian and many others please dig deep. You can also help in another way too, by joining the donor register:

Thanks in advance!
