Story

 

Hi All,

Myself, Konny and Joe are running the Chester Half Marathon in memory our good friend and my brother from another mother Alex McGrory on May 13th.

As most of you will know Alex had been battling Leukaemia for nearly 2 years before sadly passing away just days after celebrating his 23rd Birthday with all his family and friends.

For many people with blood cancer, a stem cell transplant is their last chance of life. For the transplant to be a success they need to find the right match. As the UK’s most successful stem cell register, Anthony Nolan help people like Alex find that match. 

Although Alex's body unfortunately rejected both his transplants, every day, Anthony Nolan help two people in need of a lifesaving transplant by using their register to find remarkable donors who have matching stem cells. 

With our support and donations they can help try save even more lives.

A few of us participated in Movember and raised over £2000. We hope the response to this challenge can raise as much, if not more for such a fantastic cause which we can all appreciate. 

Thanks for taking the time to visit our  JustGiving page.

Much Love to the Big Man and all those who have donated.

Ben, Konny and Joe
