On 13th April 2008 Phil Atwell is running in the London Marathon to raise money for Leukaemia CARE in Memory of Jon P Bell
Jon Bell
Jon was diagnosed with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia in 2003. Throughout Jon's illness he received outstanding care at York District Hospital, and the Leeds General Infirmary and later at St Jame's hospital in Leeds at the Bone Marrow Transplant Unit. Jon and Fi were extremely grateful to all the staff in the haematology units at those sites and to the staff of Ward 35 in York for their care and support - not just for Jon, but for the whole family. Jon displayed great courage and dignity throughout his illness. He was always the perfect Gentleman and demonstrated genuine concern and empathy for others. Jon always intended to do some fund raising to give something back when he got better, and we know that he would have approved of the work of Leukaemia CARE. We hope that you will feel able to support us in raising money for this cause in Jon's memory.
Leukaemia CARE
Leukaemia CARE is a national charity that provides vital care and support to all those whose lives are affected by leukaemia, lymphoma and the allied blood disorders. This work extends to the welfare of families and carers as well as that of patients themselves. One of its greatest strengths is that it remains a family-focused charity and offers a depth of understanding and support based firmly on knowledge and experience. See Link Below.
