Raising money for Myeloma UK and Great Ormond Street Hospital Children's Charity

Story

Jon Marks and Alice Arnold are walking, running and cycling 2021 miles between them in 2021 in support of Myeloma UK and Great Ormond Street Hospital, in memory of 2 very special people Helen Marks and Freddie Fincham.

Helen, Jon's Mum, received great support and comfort from Myeloma UK from her initial diagnosis in 2005. Myeloma is a blood cancer for which there is no cure and Helen sadly succumbed to the illness in 2018 after a long and brave battle.

Freddie, the son of Alice's close friend Peter Fincham, battled Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) for his whole life. Tragically his heart transplant in November was not successful and he passed away on 3rd January this year. Great Ormond St Hospital was a constant throughout his life and always provided incredible care and support.

With a week to go, Alice & Jon have completed 1975 miles! So just under 50 to go before the end of the year!

Thank you to everyone who has supported us so far!
