Meet Bertie
Bertie (full name: Bertie Bloodcell) is Leukaemia CARE’s fundraising mascot and where possible, he goes wherever Leukaemia CARE’s fundraisers go. If you’re a runner then you’re automatically a member of Team Bertie, and in the BUPA Great North Run and even the Virgin London Marathon you’re likely to see Bertie crossing the finishing line!

Bertie says: “Being a giant bloodcell is hard work but I love having a go at the runs and marathons. Meeting all the lovely people who help Leukaemia CARE is fun too. Blood cancer is a serious issue but being a giant bloodcell makes it really easy for me to highlight the charity to people who wouldn’t otherwise know we’re here to help. Have a look at our CARE website to see what it is that we do”
