In its 10 years as a partner of the Blenheim Palace Triathlon, Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research has raised an incredible £1.5 million. But they won’t stop until they’ve beaten blood cancer and the charity’s ‘Unstoppables’ aim is to do just that.
As the UK’s largest blood cancer charity, Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research is dedicated to improving the lives of patients with all types of blood cancer, including leukaemia, lymphoma and myeloma. Its life-saving work is focused on finding causes, improving diagnosis and treatments and running ground-breaking clinical trials for all blood cancer patients.
The charity’s determined fundraisers, the ‘Unstoppables’ return to the Leukaemia & Lymphoma Blenheim Palace Triathlon year after year to raise vital funds. Charity pledge places are available to individuals in return for raising £300 in sponsorship. Gold Pledge Places are also on offer, which come complete with an Unstoppables tri-suit, tri-belt and access to the Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research VIP area at the event for those raising £500 or more.
Set in the stunning grounds of Blenheim Palace, the UK’s second largest triathlon takes place on 13-14 June 2015. Regarded as an ‘official season opener’ in the triathlon calendar, the event offers distances of sprint and super sprint as well as the option to compete as part of a team.
James Robinson, Managing Director of IMG Challenger World, the event organiser, said “Every year fundraisers for Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research continue to amaze us; their passion and commitment is astounding. We’re incredibly proud that over our 10 year partnership, thousands of dedicated triathletes have contributed more than £1.5 million to help beat blood cancer and we can’t wait to see what they have in store for 2015.”
Matt Lawley, Head of Sports Events at Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research, added “Our partnership with the Blenheim Palace Triathlon has gone from strength to strength over the years and we are delighted to be involved once again in 2015. Last year our Unstoppable triathletes raised £450,000 to help us in our mission to beat blood cancer. We’re proud to be associated with this prestigious event and the incredible sponsorship that it raises.”
