In a world where blood cancer affects countless lives, we stand united as a community dedicated to making a difference.

Our mission is clear: to beat blood cancer through relentless research and unwavering support for those impacted. Since 1960, we have proudly invested over £500 million in groundbreaking blood cancer research, transforming treatments and saving lives along the way.

As we look to the future, our community is currently funding 360 passionate researchers and staff across the UK, all working tirelessly in pursuit of the next breakthrough. The day when we can declare victory over blood cancer is drawing closer, and these dedicated individuals are determined to finish the job.

This January, I will be participating in an open water swim every day throughout the month to raise funds for Blood Cancer UK. My goal is to raise £1,000 to support this vital cause. I invite you to join me on this journey—your support can help propel us toward a future free from blood cancer. Together, let’s make history and bring hope to those who need it most.

Someone who I have played and watched rugby with for more than 20 years has this terrible disease. On Boxing Day, players and friends from Guisborough Rugby Club joined together for a dip in the North Sea. This inspired me to take on this challenge, probably at Saltburn or Marske. However, first three days off the Northumberland coastline.
