Brad Jordan

Last April, Brad ran the London Marathon for a charity very close to his family - Leukaemia UK, in memory of his Grandad Terry.

 

“Leukaemia doesn’t discriminate. It affects people of all ages – from children to grandparents. Every day in the UK, 28 people – 10,000 a year – are told the news that they have leukaemia. Despite decades of progress, survival rates for leukaemia are still nowhere near where they should be and quality of life for those with leukaemia remains a challenge. Now, more than ever before, research has the power to change this. Leaukaemia UK's strategy has been shaped by scientific and healthcare professionals across the blood cancer community. It focuses on saving and improving more lives, through research, awareness and advocacy”.

 

Brad Jordan stated some Blood Cancer Facts:

• Every 16 minutes someone is diagnosed with blood cancer in the UK.

• In the UK, approximately 250,000 people are currently living with blood cancer.

• More than 35 people die every day from blood cancer in the UK.
