Yvonne's fundraiser for Blood Cancer UK

Yvonne Barnes is raising money for Blood Cancer UK

London Landmarks Half Marathon 2026 · 12 April 2026 ·

We're dedicated to beating blood cancer. We fund research and support those affected. Since 1960, we've invested over £500 million in blood cancer research, transforming treatments and saving lives. The day we beat blood cancer is now in sight and our researchers are determined to finish the job.

Story

On Sunday, 12 April 2026, I’ll be running the London Landmarks Half Marathon in support of Blood Cancer UK.

As most of you know this cause is personal to me. Back in October 2021, my amazing girlfriend, Kit, found a lump in her neck. Within a week, she was diagnosed with Stage 3 Hodgkin lymphoma. The news was a huge shock for her and for everyone who loves her. What followed was a deferred uni placement, eight long months of chemotherapy and a new meaning of WFH for me (work from hospital).

Through it all, Kit showed extraordinary strength and positivity that I’ll forever be in awe of. In June 2022, she received the all clear, and she has been in full remission ever since.

Blood Cancer UK funds vital research and provides life-changing support to people affected by blood cancer. Every donation — big or small — helps them continue their incredible work.

If you’re able to sponsor me, it would truly mean the world. ❤️
