Now Michael prepares to execute his first marathon in the aid of a charity organization that organizes transplants of vital salvation.
The 30 -year -old will participate in the London Marathon to raise money for Anthony Nolan, which coincides with voice cell donors with patients who need transplants as part of the treatment of Deker cancer.
Mr. Peters’s father, Canon Ken Peters, a cleric and resident of Stanmore, had been diagnosed with myeloma, a type of blood cancer.
Heavy chemotherapy could treat cancer, but killed many bone marrow cells, where blood cells are produced. Patients at that time need a voice cell transplant to replace bone marrow and allows healthy blood cells to occur.
Peters said: “My father’s initial forecast was about six months old, but could be accepted in a relatively small essay for a new chemotherapy course.
“This was combined with its Meean voice cell transplant that lived for almost 20 years, living a relatively normal life for most of that time.”
Anthony Nolan contacted Mr. Peters, after being a party for another patient, and could donate his voice cells in the same way someone else had for his father.
In addition to donors coinciding with patients, Anthony Nolan also conducts medical research, with the aim of improving effectiveness or voice cell transplants.
The functions of the beneficial organization are critical for patients such as Peters’ father, who require transplants as part of their treatment.
The process involves patients undergoing heavy chemotherapy to kill cancer cells, which also destroys bone marrow cells responsible for producing blood cells.
The stem cell transplant replaces the damaged bone marrow, which allows the production of healthy blood cells.
Peters has been prepared for the marathon since last summer, starting from scratch, since he had never before putting a corridor before.
He said: “When I discovered that I had a place last summer, I went to run that night and just made a single mile before I had to stop.”
He began his training in November, and since then he has successfully completed five half marathons.
Hello, he admitted: “The marathon will be hard, very difficult.
“I have done what I can so far to prepare, but I know it will be really hard on the day.
“I have had great races where I felt that I can do it, and I have had bad races where I felt that I am not making progress good enough.
“Bone is a long process, but now I am anxious for the day itself.
“I know how much difference the crowds can make, I know I am doing it for a good reason, and I know that my father would be out of supporting me if I could, so I think I can do it.”
The London Marathon will take place on April 27.
