Liz McColgan - Team Patron, Running Events.
"I’m supporting the efforts of the TVTimes & Asics sponsored Banana Army – made up of some 75 stars from your favourite TV programmes, plus literally thousands of fundraising runners! My husband Peter lost his brother Martin to leukaemia. Martin was only 5 when he died so I know first hand how blood cancer affects families.
So if you haven’t joined up already, this is your chance to help fund life-saving research into leukaemia, lymphoma and myeloma."
Alastair Campbell - Team Patron, Triathlon Events.
"After losing my best friend - the journalist John Merritt - to leukaemia in 1994 and later John's daughter Ellie to the same disease I want to make sure I am doing all I can to support Leukaemia Research. I’ve taken part in the Flora London Marathon, BUPA Great North Run and Mazda London Triathlon with the Banana Army and would recommend the experience to anyone! "
