Blood Cancer charity Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research has secured a six month fundraising
partnership with restaurant brand Frankie & Benny’s. The charity expects it will
raise at least £150,000 between now and July, with support from across Frankie &
Benny’s 240 restaurants.

The fundraising began with a series of free breakfasts at which diners donated money
to the charity instead of paying for their breakfast.

On 1 and 2 March, the restaurant chain will run a ‘kids eat free’ weekend which 
will include a pizza design competition. The winning pizzas will then be sold nationwide,
with £1 from each pizza sold going to Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research.

Staff involvement includes a team taking part in the charity’s London to Paris bike
ride in June, cycling more than 300 miles in aid of blood cancer.

Cathy Gilman, Chief Executive of [Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research](http://leukaemialymphomaresearch.org.uk/),
said:

“We are thrilled to announce this partnership, and thank Frankie and Benny’s staff
and guests for raising £10,000 from the recent charity breakfasts”.
