I am going to make good out of what is otherwise a fundamentally rubbish situation, and use this opportunity to raise as much money as I can for Cure Leukaemia.

Story

Jenna was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukaemia on 7 July 2017.  The treatment she has been receiving at Birmingham's Queen Elizabeth Hospital, supported by the amazing work of Cure Leukaemia is hopefully setting her on course to be cured and to make a full recovery. 

As her boyfriend, friends and colleagues we want to take part in an event in the heart of the city and make a contribution to the amazing work of the charity which is working so hard to save the lives of Jen and countless other people across the UK. 

This is where you come in!  However much you can spare will be greatly appreciated and go directly towards funding research and treatment of this terrible disease.

Cure Leukaemia (CL) helps to save lives and hasten global progress towards eradicating blood cancer within the next 30 years. CL supports the internationally renowned Centre for Clinical Haematology in Birmingham and a network of specialist research nurses across the UK who administer often world first and potentially life-saving clinical trials to leukaemia patients who have exhausted standard treatments. In 2017, Cure Leukaemia is committed to raising an additional £1m to double the Centre's capacity for patients, world first trials & nurses.

Thank you!
