This year I’ll be running the Berlin Marathon, although this may be a one further step to completing the big 6 marathons for me, it is also one where I’ll be running for a very worthy cause that is personally close to me.

After witnessing first hand the devastation this illness can have, and seeing the enormous impact Anthony Nolan can have at such a crucial time, it fills with motivation to both raise awareness and funds for the team.

I would be very grateful for donations and also to look into signing up to the register through the website (more details below).

Thanks everyone,

Lloyd

Anthony Nolan is the charity that unites people and science – matching stem cell donors to those with blood cancers and blood disorders in need of transplants and treatments. Their register of almost a million potential donors means more people can find the lifesaving match they need.

Over the last 50 years the charity has been working at the cutting edge of cell therapies and made incredible progress. Now, thanks to their world-leading register, their pioneering cell and gene therapy research and their expertise in stem cell transplants, Anthony Nolan currently helps four patients a day in need of a transplant, giving more people another chance to live.

But there is so much more that can, and must, be done. Not all patients have access to the treatment they need. Many don’t survive. Others have to live with side effects of treatment. Anthony Nolan won’t stop until every patient can not only survive, but thrive.
