Story

We're a community dedicated to beating blood cancer. We do this by funding research and supporting those affected. Since 1960, we've invested over £500 million in blood cancer research, transforming treatments and saving lives. Right now, our community is funding 360 researchers and staff across the UK who are searching for the next breakthrough. The day we will beat blood cancer is now in sight and the researchers are determined to finish the job.

In October 2024, a pint of Hook Norton beer (and I) climbed Toubkal - the highest mountain in the Atlas range in Morocco. I brewed this special beer (Mountain(b)eering - I make no apologies - it's for charity!) in July and some was sold at the Hook Norton Beer Festival, raising £650 for Blood Cancer UK. James Clarke at the brewery generously funded the brewing and the trip to Morocco was funded by me - so every penny raised from sponsorship will go to Blood Cancer UK.

Please drink/donate generously!
