My mate Luke was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukaemia in July 2020 and is currently being treated at UCLH, where he has been receiving wonderful care. So, as part of Team Leukathon UK, I am running a half-marathon this October to raise money for UCLH’s blood cancer charity, Haematology Cancer Care. 

Any donation, however big or small, will go exclusively  to supporting Haematology Cancer Care and will give Luke a great boost. If you're not in a position to donate financially, why not give some thought to registering as a blood donor with NHS - Give Blood? The NHS needs 400 new donors a day just to keep up with demand. The generosity of people just like you who donate blood has made Luke's treatment to date possible! Register to donate at: https://www.blood.co.uk

A little more on Haematology Cancer Care:  We have a strong community of patients, families and staff committed to supporting haematological cancers through fundraising activities and events. Uniquely, we are run by senior clinical staff working closely with all haematology teams and haematology patients ensuring donations make a significant impact on the services here at UCLH.We provide wide-ranging support including high-tech medical equipment and research projects, free complementary therapy for patients and families and specialist education for nurses across five inpatient wards, day-care, ambulatory care and young adult and outpatient services
