Story

Dear friends and family,

I’m excited to share that I’ll be running the New York Marathon on November 3rd in support of Cure Leukaemia, a charity that is making a real difference in the fight against blood cancer. This cause is incredibly personal to me, as my son, Hughie, has bravely fought and beaten leukaemia.

Hughie’s journey https://mftcharity.org.uk/hughie-freddie/ has inspired me to take on this challenge, and I want to help ensure that other families facing similar battles have the support and resources they need. Every donation, no matter how small, will help fund vital research and support for patients and their families.

Over 26.2 miles, I will run across the streets of New York on behalf of blood cancer patients across the world - with all funds raised helping the prospects of blood cancer patients, by funding more nurses and running more clinical trials through the Trials Acceleration Programme - so thank you for your generous donations!

Please consider donating to my fundraising page. Let’s make every mile count for those who need it most!

Thank you for your support!

Keiron
