In 2013 and again in 2014 I donated stem cells to an anonymous recipient who needed a stem cell transplant. It is the one thing that I am most proud of in my life-the opportunity to genuinely give someone else the chance at life. This was all made possible through the Anthony Nolan Charity.

I had entered an ultra marathon this summer as part of a bucket list before I turn 40, but due to corona virus, it has been cancelled. I therefore decided that I could still do a challenge like this independently and came up with “50 before 40”.  This has since developed into me running the Sandstone Trail (55km) with 5 of my amazing friends joining me along the way for support. It seems natural to raise money for the Anthony Nolan charity whilst taking in this challenge. I can continue to do my part in helping others whilst doing something I love, with my friends running by my side throughout the challenge.

Please donate whatever you can spare and feel free to come out and support me along the way on the 11th July. 

Thank you. Sarah x
