Runs

Run for The Aplastic Anaemia Trust!

We love supporting our running fundraisers to be the best they can be. From London Marathon and the Great North Run to your local half - we'd love to do everything we can to help you meet your goals and welcome you as part of our amazing running team. Hannah can help you find the right event for you, drop her an email at [email protected] or call 07849691356.

"I was a big part of the running community – I was on the committee, helped run the beginners groups. I gave up a lot of time to help new runners, and I loved running myself. Then my running community noticed that things weren’t quite right for me. The whole reason I was diagnosed is because my running deteriorated really quickly.”

When she was very ill, Zoe would struggle to get off the sofa, let alone go out for a run,

“But I never put my trainers away. And this is what I say to patients now. People have said “I'm putting my trainers away” and I say, “absolutely don't, leave them out, because you're going to get back in them!”


- Zoe, member of our Support Team and regular AAT runner

I am very much not an athlete or a runner, so I have undertaken a training programme with an app - zero to half marathon in the last eight weeks! It's the encouragement and support from people that along the way that has made me stick with it and most of that has been patients.”


- Louise, Clinical specialist, ran the Great North Run for The AAT to celebrate 25 years supporting patients with AA and PNH.
