what's on...

Unsure about running a marathon but unafraid of a long walk?

Then join KMMT supporters on a sponsored walk around London on Sunday 21st September 2008.

The route, the Jubilee Walkway, is 14 miles long and takes in many of the leading attractions in London. Or there is a shorter, 6 miles walk. While this is not your ordinary walk in the park, with a little bit of training people of any age should be able to take part.

Why did we set up the Karen Morris Memorial Trust?

Karen Morris On her first visit to the Hammersmith Hospital in September 1997 Karen saw a poster for the Sue Harris Bone Marrow Trust. In her desire to turn a negative, frightening experience into a positive, life enhancing one, she contacted them and agreed to front a campaign which resulted in thousands joining the bone marrow donor register and tens of thousands of pounds being raised.

In March 1998 she requested that all fundraising on her behalf be directed to Leuka 2000 for Hammersmith Hospital.

Very sadly Karen passed away on 18th September that year but her initiative carries on through the Karen Morris Memorial Trust which became a registered charity on 1st June 1999.

In April 2004 KMMT Patron Matt Lucas won £62,500 for the KMMT on 'Celebrity Who Wants To Be A Millionaire'. As Matt wrote on agreeing to become the second KMMT Patron: "I was very flattered to be asked to be a Patron. Karen showed such bravery and determination in her fight and it is imperative that we do what we can in her name to raise money to help those affected by leukaemia."
