Corinne O'Donnell is organising a series of events to raise awareness and money for our charity, that culminates in August this year when she will be doing The Inca Trail, a challenging trek to the Peruvian ruins of Machu Picchu.
Corinne says in her Virgin Money Giving page:
In August 2019 I will be doing the Inca Trail. Part of the challenge is to raise £3400 for a chosen charity. I have chosen MDS UK as my sister Fiona suffers from it.
MDS UK Patient Support Group provide a support and networking service for patients and families affected by the blood disorder Myelo-Dysplastic Syndromes (MDS) - a type of bone marrow failure.
The series of events starts locally, in the lovely The Olde Peculiar, a traditional, family run pub, in the Staffordshire village of Handscare with Armitage, where Corinne is organising a Greek BBQ on the 22nd June
Following events organised by Corinne include:
We are immensely grateful to Corinne for her dedication and generosity. She has already raised an incredible £2,859, which will make a great difference to patients. Let's help Corinne beat her target of £3,400!

Thanks to people like Corinne and her friends and sponsors we are able to support MDS patients and their loved ones at those critical moments when anxiety strikes.
A special thanks goes to David Scott from RD Wines for the great wine bottles donated for the raffle prizes and as well for the wine tasting event “Whose Wine is it anyway” which David helped to run!
We provide a 1-2-1 helpline opened 5 days a week, organise local meetings and maintain an updated website and Facebook Group, among other activities. Thanks for making this possible!
