Myeloma UK is the only organisation in the UK dealing exclusively with myeloma. We make it possible to live longer and better lives with myeloma. Through research and treatments, we find new ways to a cure. Together, we are the cure.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

In September 2021 I was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma a type of blood cancer. Like most people I had never heard of it and quite quickly my life and my family’s life was turned upside down as the treatment began. Rounds of chemotherapy, radiation therapy and then a stem cell transplant using my own cells. Thankfully this has put me in a complete remission and I am feeling well again. Unfortunately there is no cure for Myeloma yet and I know one day I will relapse.

I am beyond grateful to the NHS for the care they have given me. Myeloma UK where there to help fill in the blanks. They support patients and their families as well as fund research work into early detection and treatments.

Myself, colleagues from work and clients are coming together to raise as much as possible for Myeloma UK, we will walk 10 miles over the Lincolnshire wolds.

It would be amazing if you could sponsor us as a group or as individuals. Your donation will help to support the 24000 people in the uk living with this cancer.

Thank you for reading
