My Mum was diagnosed with blood cancer last year. We're very close because my Dad died when I was little, so it was a huge shock to find out about her diagnosis.

Blood Cancer UK makes it all a bit less scary, giving us hope. They fund life-changing research, support people affected, raise awareness and campaign for change.

My fabulous and endlessly patient friend Lizzie and I will be doing a Walk of Light to raise awareness and funds.

We will be walking for 12 hours from Beer in Devon to Seatown in Dorset and back again and.... I will be dressed as a pink zebra. Heat stroke? No, Sir!

If you are able to donate, that would be wonderful but if not, I completely understand and we would be just as grateful for a share so that we can spread Blood Cancer UK's message far and wide!

To give you a bit of an idea of what the money might go towards: £500 could fund a Clinical Trials Support Nurse for 3 days, improving access to clinical trials for people with blood cancer and supporting them before, during, and after enrolment.

This is for anyone affected by Blood Cancer- I will walk in a bright pink onesie for you!

Thank you, thank you, thank you
