My Grandma was diagnosed in 2008 with Multiple Myeloma which is a type of terminal bone marrow cancer. She was given 2 years to live but fought the illness for 12 years till she passed away a few months ago just before Christmas. The pain she went through must of be unbearable but her strength was amazing and she never showed it. 

I decided to do the great north run to raise as much money as I could for this horrible illness. Anything you could donate would be hugely appreciated! 

The money will go to Myeloma UK's research which aims to help patients live longer and live better with myeloma, with a cure as an ultimate goal.Research is critically important because myeloma is a complex cancer with no known cure. It's also relapsing and remitting which means many patients are in desperate need of that next treatment.
