Story
Having been cycling on the streets of London for past 5 years it's high time I put my legs to good use. To raise money for my chosen charity I will be cycling for 26 miles, hoping that I will be able to finish it in one day without the aid of a respirator.
So thank you all for visiting my page! All donations, no matter how big or small, are greatly appreciated, as I believe even a small amount can make a huge difference, when there are a lot of caring people.
This is where the money goes in the charity:
- £5 allows a newly diagnosed patient to receive a supply of blood cancer information books
- £25 pays for one sample of DNA to be analysed using a micro array test, helping to identify genes linked to blood cancer
- £50 funds a PhD student for one day on one of vital research projects building on a network of expert blood cancer scientists for the future
- £100 supports a research nurse for one day to help provide new treatments to blood cancer patients on one of life-saving clinical trials
- £250 is a week’s worth of essential laboratory supplies used to conduct vital research to improve treatments
- £300 pays for a blood cancer patient’s DNA to be screened providing a more accurate diagnosis and helping to guide treatments
- £1,000 helps to buy sophisticated equipment needed to understand blood cancers
