My amazing friend Laura Coleman-Day is raising money for Anthony Nolan in memory of her husband Xander by running 12 marathons in 12 months!

I've been to support Laura at a couple, cheering from the side lines but I wanted to do even more so I'm joining her at Week at the Knees in march and participating in my first marathon. I'd really like to help raise as much as possible for Anthony Nolan as it's a charity that means so much to Laura.

Any donations would be greatly appreciated.

May 18th Rutland Water

June 16th Hampshire Hoppit

July 21st Rasslebrock Sherwood

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.
