This weekend, Kate will be travelling to Berlin to take on the infamous Berlin marathon to raise vital funds for Cure Leukaemia.
Kate has decided to take on this challenge after sadly losing her Dad to Acute Myeloid Leukaemia.
“Cure Leukaemia understands the need for trials to improve the treatment of and eventually eradicate all forms of leukaemia.
When dad was in hospital, he was keen to be involved with any trials however, we were told there were not any. Of course, it would have been a great beacon of hope if there was a trial that dad could participate in which is why I want it possible for others with these devastating diagnoses, in particular AML, to have access to drugs which may provide a better quality of life or even potentially lifesaving opportunities.
One the TAP centres is Guys Cancer Centre, London which is where I work as a radiographer. This makes me feel even more passionate about the charity as I see a lot of leukaemia patients at work.”
