| | Jennifer, a multiple myeloma patient, is the founder of the Ashford & District Branch.
"Research has revolutionised the prognosis for blood cancer patients - but research has to be funded and that's why I volunteer.
For all of us who have been touched by these cancers, whether you are a patient, family member or friend, research offers hope for longer survival, better quality of life - and even a cure.
Fundraising is an excellent way of saying thank you to all those dedicated professionals and researchers who have got us back on our feet again. I also find fundraising is a positive and therapeutic activity for me - it's good fun and a real tonic!
I’ve met some great people through Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research and it really helps me to stay positive and keep fighting."
Hazel, in remission, started the Milton Keynes Fundraising Group.
"I volunteer because others did it for me! I wanted to give something back because without research I believe I would not be here.
I started off helping other Branches and doing small fundraising events and now have my own group in Milton Keynes. I get lots of support from head office and from other Branches so don’t feel like I am doing this on my own.
It’s so much fun and I do things I never thought I would.... like wear a banana suit and run in the Milton Keynes Bananaman Chase 10k !" |
