Story
Jamie & Seb are running the 2024 London Marathon for Team Anthony Nolan.
We are doing this to celebrate Jamie's 20 years since he had a life saving Bone Marrow Transplant after being diagnosed with Leukemia (AML) for the second time. This bone marrow transplant was found via the Anthony Nolan Register.
We are both very social runners, and have always said we would love to complete a marathon however neither of us have ever ran more than a half marathon and always shy'd away from the challenge... until now!!! We are both in our early 30's, so managing potential injuries alongside training is going to be our biggest task!
We feel super privileged to run for such an amazing charity and therefore have set a very ambitious target of £8,000!! - We plan to achieve this through a donations, a raffle/auction and some other fun activities that we have lined up!
We have already seen some significant generosity from local and national businesses and contributors for some prizes! Keep an eye out on our Instagrams (26for20) for more updates and information on our training, fund raising and more updates on Anthony Nolan!
Who are Anthony Nolan?
Every day, Anthony Nolan saves the lives of people with a blood cancer or blood disorder. We do this by matching incredible individuals willing to donate their stem cells to people who desperately need a lifesaving transplant. We also carry out cutting edge scientific research, fund specialist post-transplant nurses and support patients and their families through the transplant process and beyond. We won’t stop until we save the lives of everyone who needs a stem cell transplant. Every penny you donate brings us closer to that day.
