Khirstie Bromage run the Stroud Half Marathon on the 24th of October to help our small charity!
Khirstie says in her JustGiving Page:
4 years ago My mum was diagnosed with MDS (myleodysplastic syndrome) it is a blood disorder where the bone marrow fails to produce healthy blood cells.
In the last year I have seen my mum bravely endure so many blood tests , blood transfusions, platelet transfusions. Nights in hospital. Being unable to leave the house because of covid , unable to see family and friends because of the risk due to low immunity and the effects of how a simple cold can make Mum feel.
Now this disease has progressed a bit and the consultant has decided that Mum has to have a course of chemo and a stem cell transplant Mum and dad have again bravely accepted this next phase with positivity
I have struggled with my own running motivation lately. So have decided to enter Stroud half marathon and raise money for MDS UK to both raise awareness and money to help more people like my mum.
Thank you so much for your support, Khirstie!
We are so grateful to you and your friends and family for raising important funds and awareness to of MDS.
You are making a difference. All the money we get goes to assist patients and families with information, support and advice.
An hour on the helpline to newly diagnosed patients makes an immense difference to most patients.
Our online patient meetings are the next step – to help patients cope emotionally and make more sense of the medical journey they are on.
Our website and newsletter help with up-to-date information which is often needed, in particular now, in the midst of the covid 19 pandemic.
All requires time and funds.
With your help – we can help.
Many thanks from the MDS UK Team
