I'm taking part in the Cancer Charities '20 for 20 Challenge' and supporting WMUK, which is the only charity in the UK focused solely on Waldenstrom's Macroglobulinaemia (WM). This is a rare type of blood cancer for which there is no cure but it can be treated. 

WMUK have joined forces with 20 other charities that provide support for rare and less common cancers, to create a unique and exciting 20-day challenge. You can find out more about WMUK by visiting their website at www.wmuk.org.uk

Rare and less common smaller cancer charities are often reliant on voluntary donations. The advent of Covid-19 has had an adverse impact on such charities, including WMUK, to raise funds and planned community fundraising events have had to be cancelled.

I am a WM patient myself and have benefited from treatments currently available. I would like to help WMUK raise the needed resources to continue to support all those affected by WM and also for WMUK to be involved with other bodies that are focussed on developing more effective treatments and, hopefully, ultimately a cure for the disease.

I'll be completing my 20-day challenge filled calendar beginning Tues 22nd September. My wife and a neighbour will be doing the counting and I will be capturing my efforts on camera too. 

I would be delighted if you could support me.

Thanks,

Ed.
