Blood Cancer Awareness Month- Any Plans?

Thanks @GenesisDevice Mike.

I didn’t set any fundraising target. That said very pleased with what I’ve raised.

Several others I know were doing walks and other challenges for Anthony Nolan so I chose Blood Cancer UK as I’ve really enjoyed being part of the forum.

The Seven Steps Booklet about Stem Cell Transplant was invaluable too

Big congratulations to you dear @DuncanB, @GenesisDevice, @Leigh65 and others for walking so well last month! My hiking these days is typically more like gravity-assisted falling back down to sea level, @DuncanB :sweat_smile:

It really is motivational isn’t it Mike to know our forum buddies can achieve so much, and with such generosity, which is even more impressive considering our health challenges. Well done folks, really impressive step counts and fitness, and Duncan those donations are also brilliant.

Maybe I’ll be able to join you in spirit doing the Walk Of light 2027 and/or its March Step Challenge in the new year, spread the word (if you’d like)!

I’m just going to draw the attention of the @BloodCancerUK-SupportTeam to your amazing awareness efforts here folks.

Hi @DuncanB @Duncan @Leigh65 @GenesisDevice @Willow @Ceri_BloodCancerUK

Have you seen this event Walk the world to beat blood cancer in October | Blood Cancer UK

I did it last October and I will be doing it this October. I especially like it as I really felt part of Blood Cancer UK and it’s supporters working together, every amount of steps count and every bit of money raised counts.

Hi @Erica It’s great that you can support this. Unfortunately I have to use a wheelchair when I go out these days and can only self-propel myself short distances so I shall be supporting others who are more able. Willow x

Brilliant @Erica

Have you set up a donation page?

@DuncanB No, I do not set up a fundraising page for personal reasons and I send my donations to Blood Cancer UK direct.

Thanks @Erica

Totally understand. Have you got a name or tag for your fundraiser that I could use to support you with a direct donation?
