Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
Recently, one of my family members sadly passed away having suffered from blood cancer. He ended up developing Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML) having initally been diagnosed with Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS), a rare form of incurable blood cancer.
Unfortunately his life could not be saved, but my hope is that the work Anthony Nolan does will allow others to be saved.
Every day, Anthony Nolan saves the lives of people with a blood cancer or blood disorder. They do this by matching incredible individuals willing to donate their stem cells to people who desperately need a lifesaving transplant. They also carry out cutting edge scientific research, fund specialist post-transplant nurses and support patients and their families through the transplant process and beyond. They won’t stop until we save the lives of everyone who needs a stem cell transplant. Every penny you donate brings them closer to that day.
The ride will involve cycling 100 miles (yes, 100 miles!) from central London out towards Braintree in Essex and back again on Sunday May 28th, 2023. Whilst I have cycled 55 miles previously doing a London to Brighton bike ride, this feels like a whole new level for me! Let's hope there's good weather on the day to make it a more enjoyable experience!
I'll aim to keep you updated through this webpage as I continue my preparations and training, to hopefully complete this ride successfully.
