Sadly in 2020 my father, Terry, passed away after his fight with this terrible disease.

Unfortunately my wife's close friends husband was in hospital at the same time as Terry. He was re-diagnosed with the same illness and passed away in February this year.

Last year I raised £2,000.00 for this great charity by having raffles at work and kind donations from friends and family.

This year I am going to be running the Stratford half marathon in memory of 'Tez' and support for my wife's friend/family and those affected by this disease. This will to help fund the research and treatment needed to help save more lives in the future.

Every day, Anthony Nolan saves the lives of people with a blood cancer or blood disorder. We do this by matching incredible individuals willing to donate their stem cells to people who desperately need a lifesaving transplant. We also carry out cutting edge scientific research, fund specialist post-transplant nurses and support patients and their families through the transplant process and beyond. We won’t stop until we save the lives of everyone who needs a stem cell transplant. Every penny you donate brings us closer to that day.

If you are able to donate to this fantastic cause then I would be extremely grateful.
