Our goal is to raise £100k to help us continue our vital work. To do that, we need you to lace up the trainers, dig out the walking boots and dust off the old bike to raise sponsorship for your very own Miles for Myeloma!

Story

Throughout 2024 I am walking/running/swimming/cycling hundreds of miles for myeloma!

My husband was diagnosed with this cancer very recently. It came out of the blue and it’s a very rare cancer. I want to raise awareness of the disease and raise vital funds to help with research.

Currently, his condition is asymptomatic, which is good, but he is in the highest risk category of it progressing in the next two years.

This cancer has no cure. It can be treated and it has an average 7 year life expectancy with treatment.

Treatments are improving all the time and finding better and better treatments and perhaps one day a cure, relies on hard cash. I want to raise £10k by the end of the year.

That’s 10% of Myeloma UK’s £100k target which shows just how much difference YOUR donation will make.

Each quarter I will complete a different challenge.

March 2024 - walk 10 miles a day at my health club and outdoors.

June 2024 - learn a new swimming stroke and swim 50 lengths a day

I will also complete challenges in September and December.
