'Because it's time to beat blood cancer'
On 23rd April 2023 I am running my first marathon. I am incredibly proud to be representing Blood Cancer UK in the London Marathon and will be running in tribute to my older brother, Jamie. My brother has been diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma three times, all before the age of 27. The first time during his A levels, the second time 7 years after that and most recently during COVID. Thankfully, he is now in remission and we are hopeful it is third time lucky.
Blood Cancer UK is an amazing charity dedicated to funding research, supporting those affected, and raising awareness of different blood cancers. Many of the breakthroughs they have funded have also helped lead to improvements in treatments for people with other types of cancer.
I would be so grateful for any donation you can give in support of the important work this charity does towards finding a cure for blood cancers like lymphoma. In turn, I hope I am able to do you all proud with my 26.2 miles through the streets of London.
Here's to #RunningToBeatBloodCancer now and always.
Thank you for your support, it means so much to me.
