Story

‘You never know what is around the corner’

In January this year, my husband Andrew, was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma, following surgery for a fractured vertebra. He has undergone 4 months of chemotherapy, and is heading towards a stem cell transplant later this summer.

Myeloma is a cancer of the bone marrow, and at present there is no cure. Andrew’s consultant, Andrew Chantry, and his research team, are at present doing pre clinical trials to find a cure. They now need to raise £50,000 in order to start clinical trials with patients in 2023.

In order to help to raise some money for this great cause I am doing the London Triathlon- Olympic distance on August 7th. 1500m swim, 40km  bike ride, 10km run.

 Please, Please. Please sponsor me by donating to this great cause
