Team Booths have celebrated their £500,000 fundraiser for Cure Leukaemia over a five year span.
By organising a vast number of fundraising events and initiatives, including cycle rides to Paris and football tournaments.
Through the years, their funds have directly benefited the communities across Lancashire and South Cumbria and enabled Blackpool Teaching Hospital to recruit a blood cancer research nurse.
Dr Paul Cahalin, consultant haematologist at Blackpool Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, said: “Booths’ support of Cure Leukaemia over the past five years has been pivotal in funding our Cure Leukaemia Research Nurse role, allowing us to offer blood cancer patients more options when it comes to their treatment.
“We’re delighted that Sarah Harrison has been appointed to the post and will be joining the team in early October.”
To mark the achievement, members of the Booths team, including Booths Managing Director Nigel Murray, joined James McClaughlin, the chief executive of Cure Leukaemia, on his eighth day of the Run the Nations event, helping him tackle his 270 mile run.
James McLaughlin, Cure Leukaemia chief executive, said: “Booths have shown what’s possible when a business truly commits to making a difference. £500,000 raised is not just a number — it represents hope, progress, and lives potentially saved.
“Their unwavering support over the last five years has helped drive forward our mission to connect patients to life-saving treatments, right here in Lancashire and South Cumbria. It was a privilege to run alongside Team Booths today and celebrate this milestone together — they are genuine champions in the fight against blood cancer.”
