Wolf Run 2023 · 24 June 2023

The cure for chemotherapy-resistant blood cancers - such as lymphoma, leukaemia and myeloma - relies on finding stem cell donors with a similar ethnic background; currently 3 in 5 patients from black, Asian, mixed-heritage and minority ethnic groups do not find a match. Race Against Blood Cancer is a charity whose goal it is to increase the volume and diversity of people who register as potentially life-saving donors. It is estimated that there are approximately 2000 people currently seeking a stem cell donor and the chances of a best possible stem cell match vary greatly depend on your ethnicity – while White Northern Europeans needing a donor have a 71% chance of a best possible stem cell match, people from a BAME background have just a 37% chance of achieving the same due to the lack of ethnic diversity on the stem cell and bone marrow register. Race Against Blood Cancer is working to improve outcomes for patients by recruiting potential stem cell donors and raising awareness of the importance of registration. We want a future where every patient has the equal chance of a stem cell match: donors save lives.

Story

We are raising money for Leukaemia and Blood Cancer.

A very close relative of the team is currently going through treatment, and I am sure we all know/have known someone who has gone through this too.

Rupert, Hollie, Todd, Lucie, James and Lesley will be doing the Summer Wolf Run at Stanford Hall on Saturday 24th June

We would appreciate any donation and feel free to come watch us get down and dirty.
