Why Get Involved?

1. Challenge yourself – Run or Cycle for a cause

Races for All Levels – from young runners to experienced athletes, there’s a challenge for everyone!

From city 5Ks to half marathons across the hills of South Yorkshire, our Sheffield events are open to all ages and abilities. Whether you’re a first-time fundraiser or a seasoned athlete, there’s a challenge with your name on it.

2. Make a real difference to Sheffield patients

Support Royal Hallamshire Hospital and Sheffield Children’s Hospital – helping young patients and adults battling blood cancer across South Yorkshire.

Your fundraising supports dedicated clinical research nurses at the Royal Hallamshire Hospital, giving blood cancer patients across South Yorkshire access to potentially life-saving clinical trials they might not otherwise reach. At Sheffield Children’s Hospital, our funding forms part of the ATICUS Network, bringing world-class paediatric blood cancer research to young patients in the Steel City.

3. Join a community that cares

When you fundraise for Cure Leukaemia in Sheffield, you become part of 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 the Steel City, wearing your colours, cheered on by teammates who share your determination and drive. But it goes beyond the event itself. Knowing that your efforts are directly funding research that gives real patients across South Yorkshire more time with the people they love makes every training run, every donation request, every hill worth it.
