We are friends and family who all have a close personal reason for joining Angus's parents Elizabeth and Jonathan and Joe and his father Tim in cycling the 100mile route in Ride London in July.
Angus and Joe met and became friends at University College Hospital London where they were having similar treatment prior to lifesaving bone marrow transplants in 2011.Joe, who had survived leukaemia twice before, was treated successfully but unfortunately Angus's leukaemia was resistant to treatment and he didn’t make it.
Since his death Angus's parents have set up the Angus Rowland ForgetMeNot Fund to raise money for Bloodwise and to date they have raised £170,000. More people die from blood cancer than breast cancer and prostate cancer and Joe has spent over half his life being treated for leukaemia.
We want to help raise money to research cures to help beat blood cancers forever. This really is possible, but we need to fund more research. Over the years many friends and family have already donated and supported our cause so we are trying to get as many people as possible to donate just £2 (less than the cost of a cup of coffee). You can donate any amount on this page or to donate £2 text ANGU96 2 to 70070.
