Marathon for Bone Marrow donors!
Hello!
My name is Patrick and I'm currently training for my first marathon!
But, why? Do you ask? Well, that's a good question.
I'm not known for my long-distance running but I enjoy a challenge! Now your probably thinking "why would I give you money to run?" Well, I'm trying to raise money for my cousin's partner Emma Drummond.
She is currently in the fight of her life. She has been diagnosed with a rare form of pre-leukemia and she needs a bone marrow transplant to help fight the disease. Please read this article below to find out more about Emma's storey.

All money raised will go towards helping them pay for their medical bills and lifestyle changes.
On a personal level, I've watched this horrible disease (breast cancer) deprive my mother of her independence and eventually take her life. Ive seen how expensive these medical bills can be so I want to do all that I can to help my cousin James, his amazing partner Emma and their young family!
Also! If you are in the age bracket of 18-35 you should consider to become a bone Marrow donor yourself! Its so hard for people to find and exact match and after the research that I've done i cant belive how east it is to register to become a bone marrow donor! Its fairly rare to find a match but if you do you will have the opportunity to save someones life!
