We are daunted yet driven to join Team Running For Rachael to complete the Three Peaks Challenge. It is going to very tough, not least with our standard level of fitness(!), but hopefully a fitting tribute to a dear, dear friend Rachael, who fought so hard but sadly lost her battle with blood cancer in November 2016. 

We want to raise money in her memory. We are also doing this for all those individuals and their families who need the hope, love and support that Anthony Nolan offers in the fight against blood cancer.  Below is some further information from the Charity itself about the crucial work Anthony Nolan does.

Every day, Anthony Nolan saves the lives of people with a blood cancer or blood disorder. They do this by matching incredible individuals willing to donate their stem cells, to people who desperately need a lifesaving transplant. They also carry out cutting edge scientific research, fund specialist post-transplant nurses and support patients and their families through the transplant process and beyond. They won’t stop until they save the lives of everyone who needs a stem cell transplant. Every penny you donate brings them closer to that day.

Will says "I have never done anything like this before, I have always given to other people undertaking big challenges and now it is my turn - and for such a fantastic cause!"

Alexis says "I am not going to lie, I was a bit reluctant to attempt this challenge as have not been particularly active recently. But this is not a reason. I really hope that we can raise some money to support such an important cause."
