My husband and David and Sarah’s dad - Rick, previously fit and healthy, was suddenly diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia last year. A stem cell transplant was his only chance of survival, a match was found and organised by Anthony Nolan. Rick is now beginning a slow and steady recovery. There’s still a long way to go, but without Anthony Nolan he wouldn’t be here.

Every day, Anthony Nolan saves the lives of people with a blood cancer or blood disorder. We do this by matching incredible individuals willing to donate their stem cells to people who desperately need a lifesaving transplant. We also carry out cutting edge scientific research, fund specialist post-transplant nurses and support patients and their families through the transplant process and beyond. We won’t stop until we save the lives of everyone who needs a stem cell transplant. Every penny you donate brings us closer to that day.

We’re doing a few challenges between us, that will hopefully raise a bit of money and awareness for the charity to carry on this life saving work.

Thank you
