Charities
£40,000 and counting
Over the years our society has raised more than £40,000 for charity.
Captain Peter Norris chose Myeloma UK as his official charity for 2019 after being diagnosed with the condition.
Myeloma, also known as multiple myeloma, is a blood cancer arising from plasma cells. At any one time there are around 17,500 people living with myeloma in the UK. It accounts for 15 per cent of blood cancers, and two per cent of all cancers.
