In 2015 a friend and client Nick was diagnosed myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) but he has not let it stop him at all. He continues training week in week out cycling and walking for hours as well as training in the gym. He is one of the most genuine, positive people you could wish to meet.

Lucie intends on completing IRONMAN Barcelona to raise both awareness and money for a very worthy cause

MDS, is a condition where your bone marrow doesn't make enough of these healthy blood cells. Instead, it makes abnormal cells that aren't fully developed (immature). As the condition progress, your bone marrow gets gradually taken over by the immature blood cells, which don't work properly. They squeeze out the healthy ones, making the number of cells that manage to get into the bloodstream lower and lower. It is treated through injections, blood transfusions, bone marrow transplants.

If you’re reading this I’m almost certain you’ll be able to join the bone marrow register to help people like Nick- please do it!
