SDL Surveying Derby 10k for David Phillips

Donation protected
David Phillips was diagnosed with Myeloma cancer in November 2017. Myeloma is an incurable bone marrow cancer. Bone marrow is the spongy tissue at the centre of some bones that produces the body's blood cells. David endured months of intense chemotherapy and a stem cell transplant to fight the disease. This breaks down the immune system to help produce new healthy blood-forming stem cells. As you can imagine this was an incredibly hard time for David and his family.

Amazingly, David was told he was in remission in June 2018 which unfortunately only lasted until February of this year. The family were told the cancer has returned and now needs to under go further intense treatment. As you can imagine, this is devastating news.

In anticipation of a difficult year ahead, the family have taken steps to reduce pressure of financial stress. This includes selling their beloved forever home and belongings. They have also cancelled their annual family holiday which has provided them with amazing memories through such difficult times.

Amy, one of David's daughters, has worked at SDL Surveyingover 2 spells for 12 years and is a very well loved member of our work family. She manages 2 teams and despite everything she is going through, she always comes to work with a smile on her face. She is a complete inspiration and 3 times nominated legend award at work.

30 colleagues of SDL Surveying are running the Derby 10k on Sunday 7th April. We are fundraising for Myeloma UK but also to raise money for David and his family to help them through this difficult time. We are hoping to raise enough money to give them the opportunity to go on the family holiday they have sadly had to cancel to allow them to spend some quality family time together away from the stress of treatment and hospitals. We want to raise as much as possible! 

A massive thankyou in advance! x
