Story
As part of the Booths team, I will be competing in the annual Chamber Dragon Boat Challenge at Europe’s largest inland docks, Preston. I will be joining fellow corporate competitors as we take to the waters to battle it out in a series of timed races throughout the day, fore the semi final and finals. This is all in aid of raising money for our chosen charity, Cure Leukaemia.
Cure Leukaemia helps blood cancer patients to access pioneering drug and transplant treatments by funding a network of specialist research nurses across the UK. Without these nurses, to ensure patients are monitored and cared for, clinical trials of these new treatments would not run and patients, that have exhausted standard treatment options, would miss out on potentially lifesaving therapies. Every penny raised for Cure Leukaemia helps save lives and also hastens global progress towards the eradication of all forms of blood cancer.
