Story

Hannah and James are joining Cure Leukaemia Chief Executive James McLaughlin on his Run The Nations challenge this September as he looks to complete his BIGGEST challenge to date.

James will be tackling over 220 miles across 14 days as he runs through 16 different cities to raise funds for blood cancer patients across the UK and we will be joining him along the Southampton leg.

Our son Keanu was diagnosed with Leukaemia (AML) in 2020 aged 12. He was treated at the Southampton Hospital children's ward where he spent 7 month's going through 4 rounds of chemotherapy. We will be forever grateful to the amazing staff at the Southampton Hospital for nursing Keanu back to health.
