Afternoon guys,

Just over 12 months a go my Dad was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma and have spent the last 12 months going through the turmoil of coming to terms with it. It has spurred me on to do something in a bid to raise money for Myeloma UK.

The details of what I am doing are on that page but obviously any additional help will go toward Myeloma UK and what ever is raised will hopefully go some way toward helping the charity and the suffers as they try to move forward in the future.

Any help would be massively appreciated.

Cheers guys.

Just wanted to say an unbelievable thank you anyone who has donated. There are a couple of names that I do not recognise on the donation list, one with an unbelievably generous donation.

Thank you so much for your support, it means a lot!

Hi Alix
Good luck with your run and money raising. I used to run ordinary marathons before Myeloma damaged my back. I regret to say I only once ran for charity which I now regret. If only we could turn back time.
Once again good luck with the run and training – the hardest part! – and thanks for supporting Myeloma UK.

All the best
Andy

Thanks for your kind words Andy, I am extremely sorry to hear that Myeloma eventually cut short your running career. All we can hope for is that with raised awareness and funding that we can eventually get to a stage where there are better treatments available. My Dad was unable to have the stem cell transplant having failed the harvest on multiple occasions and it's those stages/steps where additional funding for new treatments or options would be an enormous help.

Just wanted to say an unbelievable thank you for those who have supported the donation page. I completed the Ultra-Marathon on Saturday 14th and have updated the JustGiving page with the relevant information and with a link to pictures from the event.

Thanks so much once again!

Did you actually have to run through snow?!?

Hi Eliz,

Snow, Ice, sand, rocks, grass, surfaces I wouldn't even know how to describe 🙂

I have put some pictures up:
