When Anthony Nolan got in touch to see if I wanted to run a half marathon they must have caught me off-guard. Before I knew it I had signed-up and 5 months later here we are. I can't say I thought about training until a month ago, and I am only setting up my page with 17 days to go because until today I wasn't sure I'd make it to the start line. Finally, I believe I'll make it - albeit there are still some hard yards to put in. I am raising money for a wonderful charity and would very much appreciate your support however small.

Every day, Anthony Nolan saves the lives of people with a blood cancer or blood disorder. We do this by matching incredible individuals willing to donate their stem cells to people who desperately need a lifesaving transplant. We also carry out cutting edge scientific research, fund specialist post-transplant nurses and support patients and their families through the transplant process and beyond. We wont stop until we save the lives of everyone who needs a stem cell transplant. Every penny you donate brings us closer to that day.
