THE CHARITY
Anthony Nolan
is a pioneering charity that saves the lives of people with blood cancer who
need a blood stem cell, or bone marrow transplants. They set up the world's
first bone marrow register in 1974 and today, two people needing a transplant
are matched every day with potential donors.
Anthony Nolan also carry out world class research into stem cell matching and
transplants.
THE CHALLENGE
Simple. Myself and Gary are going to run as many races as possible in 2013. This will include multiple 10k's and half
marathons finishing with a full marathon towards the end of the year.
THE GOAL
Our goal is not
just to raise money but also raise awareness of the vital work that Anthony
Nolan does. To carry out the pioneering work they do in matching donors and
research, the charity need money and more importantly, donors.
GET INVOLVED
There are 3
ways you can help us achieve our goal.
1.Donate some money
Anthony Nolan is a charity and needs
public support to continue its work. Every little counts so please give what you
can.
- Make a one off donation in support of all the training and running we are
doing in 2013
- Make a small donation per race. Why not donate £2 per race? This will raise
more money throughout the year, spreads the cost and will motivate us to run
more!
Donate via our Just Giving page: http://www.justgiving.com/RunAllYear
Get a reminder to donate, just email me and I will send you a reminder before
each race.

2.Register to be a donor
Anthony Nolan is all about
saving lives and to do this they need donors. Only 30% of people needed a
transplant find a match within their family. The rest turn to Anthony Nolan.
Click on the link below, fill in an application online (10 mins) and they
will send you a spit kit. Spit in it, send it back and that's it; you are on
the register and could have just saved someone's life. How cool is that?!
3.Join us on a run
This challenge is all about spreading
the word. So why not join us on a run yourself. This can be as little as 5k or
join us at the marathon later in the year. Whatever you decide, promote Anthony
Nolan and this challenge to your friends and family! We will be posting the up
coming runs on our blog or suggest a run for us to do.
