Fundraising for Myeloma UK
Story
Raising awareness of Myeloma is a cause dear to both of our hearts. As well as promoting awareness of Myeloma itself, we want to promote awareness of the link with Gaucher Disease, an inherited condition that affects the blood, liver, spleen, bones and sometimes the nervous system; and by doing so, to improve access to treatment, including for untreated children in the developing world. Gaucher sufferers have a 10 fold increased risk of common conditions including Parkinsons and cancer, particularly Myeloma; we hope you will help us raise funds for research to better understand the link and thereby improve treatments
