Story
We are raising money for our charity, TTP Education & Research, by joining with the official fundraising event of Lymphoma and Leukaemia in the London Brigdathon. This is a leisurely walk across 6 London bridges. Anyone can be involved and it is a great day out for family and friends.
TTP is a devastating acute life threatening disorder, which affects any age group, but usually young adults. Patients can be very sick, requiring intensive care and treatment. The charity' s aims are to provide research into TTP and provide support and education for patients and their families, as well as the medical community.
Last year's Bridgathon, albeit our first, proved to be very successful. Apart from being well attended, with your help we managed to raise enough money to buy a nano drop which measures the quantity of DNA in samples. This is important research to determine if there is a genetic predisposition to develop TTP.
We look forward to your continued support by joining us on the day.
