After raising almost £18,000 last year for blood cancer charity Anthony Nolan, a Radlett fundraiser is set to be honoured with a nationally recognised award from the charity.
Jamie Wolff has been shortlisted for the Individual Fundraiser of the Year at the Anthony Nolan Supporter Awards, which will be held in a digital format later this month.
The prestigious awards, which are back for their eighth instalment this year, will recognise the outstanding achievements of those who help the pioneering blood cancer charity save lives, including Jamie.
Emma Smith with her sisters Hannah and Charlie Three sisters nicknamed the ‘Hope Runners’ are in the running for a prestigious charity award. When Emma Smith, 30, lost her 30-year-old husband Scott to to Hodgkin’s Lymphoma in August 2019, she turned to running with the help of her sisters Charlie and Hannah. The trio teamed up to run the 2020 Virgin Money London Marathon, raising more than £20,000 for the blood cancer charity Anthony Nolan. The race, which was originally set for April, was postponed to October due to the Covid-19 pandemic and eventually took place virtually, meaning the sisters had to train twice.
