I am running for a cause which is close to my family’s hearts. In loving memory of my Mums mum, Jenny, who died aged 38 to Leukaemia and my Great Nana, Josephine, who we also sadly lost to Leukaemia in 2009.

Cure Leukaemia helps blood cancer patients to access pioneering drug and transplant treatments by funding a network of specialist research nurses across the UK. Without these nurses, to ensure patients are monitored and cared for, clinical trials of these new treatments would not run and patients, that have exhausted standard treatment options, would miss out on potentially lifesaving therapies. Every penny raised for Cure Leukaemia helps save lives and also hastens global progress towards the eradication of all forms of blood cancer.
