Leukaemia CARE exists to provide vital care and support to all those whose lives are affected by leukaemia, lymphoma and the allied blood disorders. Our work extends to the welfare of families and carers, as well as that of patients themselves. Quite simply... 'supporting a quality of life'

Give us money! (Well not "us" exactly, Leukemia Care in fact, and I'd also like to add a "pretty please"

Message from Rhian Sneade

We have 20 days before the pain begins (I should say increases- having completed a 13 mile run today, everything hurts!). Firstly I'd like to say a big cheers to all that have sponsored us and helped out so far.

I am sorry to pester you all, especially due to the fact that times are particularly hard financially and for those fellow students I am aware that living off the tail end of the loan can be difficult. This is however an excellent cause and we do have a very, very long way still to go to reach our target. Leukemia Care is a fantastic charity and one which we chose for good reason.

Sooooooo...pretty please help us in any way you can. If you are unable to sponsor us but have some fundraising ideas, know people who can help us out, or have a few hours spare to sell cakes or something please contact myself (Rhi), Jen or Elle. Our Just Giving page is an easy way to donate, although feel free to donate in any of the other usual ways (I find that being handed money always feels nice, even if the money isn't actually for me!):
