Personally I am affected by this cancer and will continue to be for the foreseeable future. I have had a course of chemotherapy and started on a two year course of injections every two months. The fact that I have a future is due to past research and the development of effective treatments. I have used the community forum and want to give something back as well as looking to the future where research and treatments may provide more answers.

A 5km walk may not sound far but I tire easily and it will be a struggle. I would be grateful for any support people feel able to give.

Below is a statement from Blood Cancer Uk.

we are 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.
