Trustee MDS UK. Raising awareness of #MDS - a malignant blood disorder. 3 Bone Marrow Transplants - I don't have views, I have a vision #mdsbloodcancer
13 years ago I ran my 1st Marathon. It was 2 1/2 years post my final #stemcell transplant and I ran for @AnthonyNolan because my first 2 transplants came from a donor they found. My 3rd transplant was a ‘last chance saloon’ #Haplo. The man who saved my life was my son
Today I’m at the Excel Center. Picking up my bib number and raising funds for @MDS_UK and @BrainTumourOrg
Not bad for a 66 yr old, 3x BMT and a brain tumour
And thank you Eddie @BBCRadioLondon for an opportunity to tell my story and raise awareness of Myelodysplastic Synromes, stem cell transplants and brain tumours. Fundraising link and story below: justgiving.com/team/firstyou…
Can you help Marshall by sharing this post and helping to find him a donor? Wouldn’t it be amazing if you were that one in a million special person who could save Marshall’s life. Go on go for it. If you can’t donate then please share to encourage others.

Morning all, it’s now some 5 weeks on from my surgery to remove a massive brain tumour. I am doing very well and I am a bit ahead of where I thought I’d be. Thanks for all the kind messages. I just hope I never have to go through the emotional trauma again
Hi all, having survived a horrid #MDS some 15 yrs ago, it now has become clear I have a brain tumour. I am not panicking, it’s hopefully benign, but it has brought business to an end a bit quicker. None the less I am still here and I still need to get supporters for @MDS_UK
Myelodysplasic Syndromes are pretty rare in the UK. Just 2500 people diagnosed each year. As cancers go the curative options are slim too…
What celebrities do you know of that got diagnosed with #MDS??
