Story

500 people, 50km, 5 days -

Together with your support, we can bring blood cancer out of the dark.

@locker31 Will Findley of Leicester Tigers is running 50k a day for 5 days for blood cancer. He has challenged 500 people to run/walk at the same time and complete 10k a day for 5 days.

Will started raising money for blood cancer 3 years ago after Tom Youngs (also of Leicester Tigers) wife Tiffany was diagnosed with the disease and she has since sadly died.

I started running to keep fit now I’m getting older, and usually have to have a couple of days in between runs because of the usual aches and pains. But I wanted to challenge myself for a worthy cause. I’m actually the first one of the 500 to sign up for this challenge!

Together, we can support children and families affected by blood cancer and fund vital research for better treatments and a cure. Join us in bringing blood cancer out of the dark.

Thank you so much,

James x
