Alan's fundraiser for DKMS

Alan Malt is raising money for DKMS

Hike Through Spain

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

Thank you for visiting my JustGiving page. I want to share a deeply personal journey with you. My father lost his battle with cancer, and this experience ignited a passion within me to give back to the community. Volunteering has become my way of honoring his memory, and it is also why I chose to become a councillor.

Recently, my partner's father received a diagnosis of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, which is essentially leukemia. This news has been a stark reminder of how urgent the need for support is in our fight against blood cancers. For over 10 years, I have been a proud donor on the DKMS register, but now I am taking an additional step to make a difference.

I am embarking on a personal trek, hiking through Spain—a journey of nearly 505 km in just over three weeks. My goal is to raise £1,000 for DKMS, an organization dedicated to finding donors for those battling blood cancers.

You don’t have to donate money; every action counts! Whether it’s sharing this message, forwarding it to friends, or even baking cakes for your own cause—every little bit helps us create a stronger community. Together, we can inspire change and show that we care about those around us.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast, and secure. Your details are safe with them—they will never sell your information or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, your contribution goes directly to the charity—making it the most efficient way to support this vital cause.
