Story

Hello and welcome to my JustGiving page!

First of all thank you for taking the time to read this. It's taken me a while to put pen to paper and write this as it’s something that is personal to me.

For those who know me well I’m generally into sport and have decided to take my passion for cycling further by entering “Velo” this year.

For those who don't already know my mother had Leukaemia 13 years ago, and since then has made a great recovery, so there is always hope and this is a great way to raise money for a worthy cause, helping others from all ages to recover. Please read more about Velo below and help me raise money for people who are suffering Leukaemia.

I have been busy (and sometimes injured!!) every weekend on my bike gearing up for the 100-mile bike ride so please support me by donating to this worthy cause, any amount, big or small, it will be gratefully received. Thank you once again!



38,000 are diagnosed and 14,000 die from blood cancers in the UK every year. That's enough people to fill a major football ground and Cure Leukaemia has been fighting back since 2003.Every penny raised through Cure Leukaemia's Velo Birmingham & Midlands Team will go towards supporting the groundbreaking work of Professor Charlie Craddock CBE and his team of clinicians based at the Centre for Clinical Haematology at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham and now at Centres across the UK.Cure Leukaemia's funding of specialist research nurses across the UK helps connect blood cancer patients with treatments that are not currently available through standard care. These clinical trials are potentially life saving and not only help save lives but also hasten global progress towards eradicating blood cancer within 25 years but with increased funds that dream could become a reality sooner. Please give what you can as I will be cycling 100miles on International Nurses Day 2019.
