Why Run for Cure Leukaemia?
Across the UK & Ireland, the fight against blood cancer is happening right on our doorstep. Every mile you run and every pound you raise goes directly toward funding pioneering Research Nurses and Clinical Trials right here.
By joining our team, you are directly powering life-saving clinical trials across the city, from world-leading adult research to the pioneering ATICUS Network. Your miles fund the specialist Research Nurses essential to delivering these medical breakthroughs, providing patients of all ages in Birmingham with access to the latest treatments and a real hope for a cure.
Without this funding, these trials simply cannot happen. You aren’t just running a race; you are providing the gift of time and hope to patients.
