What’s the Olly up to Now?
Since completing treatment for Leukemia, Olly has had a busy time, getting involved in many projects and even making an appearance on the coveted GMTV sofa! Sharing his inspirational and incredible story with everyone, Olly talks of his plans to sail the boat he bought just before his transplant, ‘Jolly Olly’ , around the British coastline single-handedly. In May 2011, Olly will start from Ipswich and head up the coast, stopping at various ports to raise awareness and funds as a thank you for the help and support he has received from Anthony Nolan.
