Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

In September  2017, I was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukaemia - this was a huge shock as it literally came out of nowhere. 4 cycles of chemo and about 4 months in hospital put me into remission and there I have stayed...

I said to Mrs Mac that I was thinking about doing a half marathon to raise money for Bloodwise, before I knew it, she’d signed up too. Her unwavering support goes above and beyond the normal duties of being a bestie ❤️ (I can gush as much as I like coz I’m the admin for this page, not Mrs Mac 😂) She’s pulling me through training at the moment - I’m moaning a lot as I don’t find running as easy as I used to, but Mrs Mac is patient, if not completely sadistic, she has me running up hills on windy days which I absolutely despise.

We wanted to raise a bit of money for Bloodwise - blood cancers are the 3rd biggest killer and claims more lives each year than breast or prostate cancer (not that it’s a competition). Blood cancer is the 5th most common type of cancer - even for those who survive, the effects of treatment can be devastating.  Bloodwise are the UK's leading blood cancer research charity - so if we can contribute even a small amount then all the moaning, tiredness and pure on pain will have been worth it. 

We’re not going for a PB, that boat has sailed for me - Mrs Mac could easily go for one - but this Half is all about doing it together, starting and (hopefully) finishing together - making the memory, together ❤️ and raising a bit of money - your donation is very much appreciated by both of us.
