Great interview with Tom Youngs on BBC Breakfast this morning. Tom lost his wife Tiff to BC last June.
Leicester Tigers (Rugby Union) are supporting their fitness coach Will Findlay on his challenge to run 1metre for every BC patient in the UK. Thats 250,000 metres in 50 hours.
Starts Friday 17th at Mattoli Woods (Tigers) ground through to 19th.
Lets promote and support the ‘giving for Tiff’ funding for Blood Cancer research.

Thanks Gemma,
More than happy to flag it up. In fact I consider it a duty.
Being a lifelong Tigers supporter under treatment for Waldenstroms from the Hope CancerTrial at the Leicester Royal Infirmary I’ll be claiming my one metre with money in hand and cheering him on.

Will on the road targeting 5km per hour with recovery.
His target was £20000 but it stood at that when he started so its been upped, now aiming for £40000.

Thanks for updating this thread @Iain, the 250 in 50 challenge is truly amazing and I saw first hand how gruelling it was for Will and the team. They are real stars making a massive difference.
Kind regards
