3. Join a community that cares

When you fundraise for Cure Leukaemia in Nottingham, you join a growing community of runners, cyclists, and fundraisers brought together by one shared goal: to cure blood cancer.

There’s nothing quite like the buzz of race day in a city steeped in legend, wearing your colours along the banks of the River Trent, cheered on by teammates who share your drive. But it goes beyond the event itself. Knowing that your efforts are directly funding research that gives real patients across the East Midlands more time with the people they love makes every training run, every donation request, every mile completely worth it.
