Jo Pinder - Walking for Cancer Research UK
Posted: 5 March, 2021
This March Jo is walking 10,000 steps per day throughout the month to help beat cancer - and the rest of the staff team are joining her!

It started with the discovery of a dangerously enlarged spleen during a holiday of a lifetime trip to New Zealand in January 2020 - just as the world was hearing of a new virus coming out of China. This abruptly ended the tour and further investigations back in the UK led to a diagnosis of Splenic Marginal Zone Lymphoma, a rare form of blood cancer.
