Story

Help to beat leukaemia.

Thank you for visiting my Shine fundraising page in support of leukaemia research. Please dig deep and sponsor me – it’s quick, easy and totally secure.

In August this year it will be 10 years since my dad lost his battle with Leukaemia. So what better way to remember him than to walk a marathon!! (she says) The three Miller girls have come together to raise as much as we can for Leukaemia research.

If you knew Anthony, you will remember just how much he loved life and how determined he was to beat his fight against cancer. He was a man who persisted at things he believed in and very rarely said no (especially to his 3 daughters).

We are walking this marathon together in his memory and what he stood for. He will be watching over us on the day to spur us on when we begin to cry at the end of mile 1, realising the mammoth task ahead.

Around 8,300 people of all ages are diagnosed with leukaemia every year in the UK - that’s 23 people each day. The number of people surviving leukaemia for five years or more has more than tripled since the 1970s. That’s amazing progress, but around 4,500 people still lose their lives to the disease every year.

By sponsoring me you can help more people survive leukaemia.
Every pound you donate really does make a difference towards the work into diagnosing and treating leukaemia – so please sponsor me now!

Gift Aid it!

If you are a UK taxpayer, please remember to tick the Gift Aid box when donating as this will increase your donation by at least 25% at no cost to you.

Thank you so much for supporting me and my sisters.

Let’s beat cancer sooner.
