Abi, one of our much‑loved committee members who has given over 20 years of dedication, has recently been diagnosed with a rare blood cancer. In true Abi fashion, she’s channelling her strength and positivity into action by raising money for MPN Voice, a charity that provides vital support for patients and funds crucial research.
To do this, she’s taking on an incredible challenge: a 100km walk over 3 days in Ypres, Belgium. Walking that distance on three consecutive days would test anyone — but if anyone can take it on with determination and a smile, it’s Abi.
She would be grateful for any support, whether that’s a donation or simply a few words of encouragement to help spur her on. Let’s rally behind her and show her just how much we’re cheering her forward.
