Marathon for Myeloma

We are walking a marathon on 9th May 2024 to raise money in aid of Myeloma UK and every donation will help. Thank you in advance for your contribution to this cause that is very close to our hearts.

More information about Myeloma UK: Myeloma UK is the only organisation in the UK dealing exclusively with myeloma. Each year in the UK, close to 6,000 people are diagnosed with Myeloma. Myeloma, also known as multiple myeloma, is a blood cancer arising from plasma cells. At any one time there are around 24,000 people living with myeloma in the UK. It accounts for 15 per cent of blood cancers, and two per cent of all cancers. Unlike many cancers, myeloma does not exist as a lump or tumour. Myeloma affects where bone marrow is normally active in an adult, such as in the bones of the spine, skull, pelvis, rib cage, long bones of the arms and legs and the areas around the shoulders and hips.
