The cause
All money raised will go towards research into Myeloproliferative Neoplasms (MPNs). These are a group of rare blood cancers, in which various blood cells proliferate uncontrollably, as a result of a number of different gene mutations which are acquired during the patient's life.
They can affect anyone, and they need constant monitoring and management by medical specialists.
These cancers can significantly impact on quality of life and cause a host of symptoms, most dangerously thrombosis and heart attacks.
