Harry Martin-Dreyer was made a Patron of Cure Leukaemia after completing an extraordinary cross-Atlantic row alongside fellow Patron Alex Bland in 2014. Harry, who lost his mother to blood cancer, raised funds for Cure Leukaemia whilst Alex supported JDRF.

The pair raised over £200,000 split between the charities and were both made Patrons of Cure Leukaemia as a result. Not only did Harry and Alex row over 3,000 miles, unsupported, across treacherous seas Harry’s engagement ring for now wife Lucy made the journey too and he proposed when they arrived in Barbados.
