Myself and my two dear friends Ali and Amanda decided to do the iconic Great North Run to celebrate my 60th birthday.  I am running for this charity in memory of my little sister who sadly did not have the opportunity to grow old and live her life.  

We're a community dedicated to beating blood cancer. We do this by funding research and supporting those affected. Since 1960, we've invested over £500 million in blood cancer research, transforming treatments and saving lives. Right now, our community is funding 360 researchers and staff across the UK who are searching for the next breakthrough. The day we will beat blood cancer is now in sight and the researchers are determined to finish the job.
