Run the Nations 2025
James McLaughlin is raising money for Cure Leukaemia
Story
Run the Nations is back...
And I'm lacing up my trainers once more for one final run, and my biggest challenge to date, running over 10 marathons in 14 days.
A total of 270 miles, no rest days & running through 29 blood cancer centres across the UK where Cure Leukaemia provides support through clinical trials networks, with new locations for Run The Nations 2025 including Worcester, Blackpool and Stoke.
With patients very close to my heart, each step of the challenge will spotlight the incredible work being done by Cure Leukaemia-funded Research Nurses who provide pioneering and potentially life-saving treatments to patients in the UK.
The importance of blood cancer research and clinical trials bring hope. They give patients like me the chance to believe in a future where no one has to suffer, where better treatments are available and ultimately, where a cure exists. Sara Carter - Diagnosed with ALL In March 2025
This is without doubt, going to be the toughest challenge, as the miles are going up each year and I am getting older! But it’s nothing compared to what blood cancer patients go through and as its my final run the nations it would be brilliant if we could get the biggest turnout of runners and reach the highest fundraising total.
Run The Nations has grown year after year, and it’s been incredible to see the support from, and has hopefully inspired people to get moving this September. As Run The Nations evolves into Move The Nations, I hope everyone gets involved in their own way — watch this space, there’s so much more to come.
