In January 2021, I was diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukaemia, CML. The first few months were scary however, over the past few years I have learned to live with cancer and I am fortunate to only have to take 1 tablet a day, with regular blood tests and consultations from the very brilliant people at the Kyle Unit, Ayr Hospital. I can still continue with my walking, running and cycling activities, which keeps me physically fit and also helps with my mental wellbeing.

Sir Chris’s story has inspired me further to take on this cycle challenge, so I am raising money for Blood Cancer UK and your contribution will make an impact, no matter how big or small. Anything helps. Many thanks for your support.
