 | Calendar Girls |
|  | | When the ladies of Rylstone & District WI decided to do something a little different for their annual calendar, they had no idea of the media sensation they would create. Following a hit film based on their story, the Calendar Girls from Yorkshire have now raised over £1 million for Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research and their work continues. The girls took part in our first ever Forget Me Not walk in Chester and appear on new merchandise including chocolates and a new calendar for 2008. |  |
| Alastair Campbell |
|  | | Alastair Campbell is best known as for his years as communications director for former Prime Minister Tony Blair. He decided to support Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research after losing his best friend - the journalist John Merritt - and John's daughter Ellie to leukaemia. He completed his first marathon for the charity in 2003 and is now Triathlon Team Captain and Chairman of Fundraising for Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research. | |
| Ian Botham |
|  | | Sir Beefy has been supporting us for 25 years ever since he met a group of teenagers with leukaemia when he was having treatment for a sports injury at a hospital in Somerset. He has now completed 11 walks and raised £millions for Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research. Following his recent knighthood, he is continuing to use his profile… and his legs to support us. In October 2008 he will be walking in nine towns in nine days and for the first time ever you can walk with him. Visit www.bothamwalk.com to see what Beefy’s up to. | |
