Help us support DKMS on their mission to delete blood cancer

On the Beach is raising money for DKMS

Team: Team OtB - Great Manchester Run

Someone is diagnosed with blood cancer in the UK every 14 minutes, and many will need a blood stem cell transplant for a second chance at life. We are committed to increasing the number of potential blood stem cell donors in the UK, so that there is a donor for everyone who needs one.

Story

We're thrilled to be supporting DKMS in their fight against blood cancer.

The great work that DKMS does is personal for us too. Our much loved colleague, Andy Clague, sadly passed away in 2018 after a long battle with Non-Hodgkin lymphoma. With no stem cell donor matches on the register to help him, we're committed to supporting DKMS in raising awareness of their work and growing the stem cell donor register to help more people find their match and give them a second chance at life.

This year, we've got a packed calendar of challenges to raise money for DKMS:

In June, we kicked things off with a bake sale and a football tournament – great fun for a great cause!

In September, we swapped our football boots for microphones for a karaoke night.

In October, our brave team of challengers will be cycling from Dalaman to Antalya along Turkey's Mediterranean coast – around 350km over three days, with some serious climbing along the way. This is no mean feat and they're looking for your support every pedal of the way!

And in November, we'll be wrapping up the year on the padel courts with a tournament to raise even more for DKMS.

Every challenge, every donation, brings us closer to helping DKMS find more people their match. Thank you for your support!
