It’s been 3 years today since my Uncle Darren was diagnosed with leukaemia. The past 3 years have been filled with ups and downs but Anthony Nolan has been a great help through the process and have been there every step of the way. Like most people who go through the process it is hard and you often feel like there is not much that you can do to help, so when I saw the opportunity to run in this event and donate money to great cause I jumped on it as fast as I could. Having never run more than a mile previously this is going to take some work but with the support of the people around me every step of the way I know I will be able to complete it.

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.
