I’m doing Walk of Light because my husband Jack died of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) 12 months ago. It’s just nice to be with likeminded people, people that know what you’ve been through, what you’re going through. People that understand. Kath, Walk of Light Birmingham, 2023

Because my daughter saved my life by donating her stem cells and because I’m really grateful to be alive. Elizabeth, Walk of Light Birmingham, 2023

Me and my family & friends walked around Cannon Hill Park Birmingham, the event was amazing with so many people. We walked in memory of my daughter Natalie White, raising £1,745 and we’re thrilled to bits. Roll on next year, let’s do it again! Denise, Walk of Light Birmingham, 2023
