Race Against Blood Cancer, a national charity that is working to increase the chances of survival for blood cancer patients, has announced that Wolves legend, Carl Ikeme, is supporting the organisation’s ‘Be The One’ fundraising dinner in the Autumn.
Being held on Friday 6th September at Molineux Stadium, Wolverhampton and hosted by Lynsey Hooper of Sky Sports fame, the event promises to be a must for any Wolves fan.
As well as hearing Carl speak about his work with the charity, for just £40 guests can enjoy entertainment, a three course meal and an auction of money-can’t-buy items, as well as raising valuable funds for the charity’s work.
As Carl says, “Race Against Blood Cancer might be small, but it has huge ambition. After my own diagnosis with leukaemia back in 2017, I discovered that my treatment options would be limited due to the lack of ethnic diversity on the stem cell register. The charity is trying to change all that; I’ve been involved with the team for more than a year now and I’m delighted that they’ve asked me to support this event to raise funds and awareness for their continuing work.”
Race Against Blood Cancer is also delighted to announce that Eleanor Smith, MP for Wolverhampton South West, will be presenting their inaugural supporter awards at the event, where individuals and companies are celebrated for their efforts on the charity’s behalf.
Tickets for the event can be purchased online at http://www.virginmoneygiving.com/fund/betheone or for further information contact julie.child@raceagainstbloodcancer.com
