Booths London2Paris 2024
Written on February 22nd, 2024
Once again, a team of cyclists representing Booths will get on their bikes and take on the London2Paris challenge to raise funds for Cure Leukaemia (Registered Charity No: 1100154.)
This summer, 14 colleagues and friends of Booths will cycle 300 miles over 4 days from London to Paris, to raise funds for Cure Leukaemia. Booths, in partnership with Blackpool Teaching Hospitals, are proud to be funding Cure Leukaemia Research Nurse, Denise Bennett, who is based at Blackpool Hospital.
Our team is made up of people with a wide range of abilities from beginner to more advanced, and they’re all training hard to help patients with blood cancer access new treatments. In the run up to the main event, all will undertake various activities to raise at least £1500 each, including some cycle training sessions in their local stores — keep an eye on our social channels to see when and where so you can pop down and show your support.
What do research nurses do?
Research Nurses help connect patients to potentially lifesaving medicine and their role in administering clinical trials is vital to developing effective new treatments for blood cancers. As a result, patients have access to new treatments, allowing them access to lifesaving new therapies.
Nigel Murray, Managing Director, Booths explained:
Funding a local and dedicated leukaemia research nurse in Blackpool is something we are incredibly proud to do. Dedicated research nurses play such a vital role in medicine, their role in administering treatment, supporting the patients and giving wider and crucial insight in how a patient copes with treatment is invaluable. By helping to fund this position, it means that the Blackpool and Lancashire area have a much greater propensity to treat a wider range of leukaemia for patients and their families to go through, in what are quite difficult treatment processes.
