Yesterday we received the fantastic news that Andrew has been given the all clear, which is just absolutely fabulous!!
We wish Andrew all the best as he rests and returns to full fitness, and our thoughts go to his family and Emma, who will also be overjoyed with such good news.
We're hoping to do another run this year, and hoping that Andrew can join us with our efforts.
We remain open for donations from our previous run, and hope to raise as much money as possible for such a special and worthy cause.

On Sunday 25th April we successfully managed to complete the Sheffield Half Marathon!
The weather, the course gradient and the distance were against us, but we all managed to respectfully cross the finishing line, and show our support to Andrew, and to Macmillan Cancer Care Support.
Following a great support from businesses, colleagues, friends and family, we are now hoping to raise a total of £2,000, therefore, donations are still very much appreciated.
For those that have sponsored so far, we would like to say a big thank you for your kind gesture and fantastic support. We anticipate that Andrew will be joining us in the next big run, and aiming for a personal best!

In 2009 our colleague, Andrew Ashworth, was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma. He is responding well to treatment and is all set to make a full recovery, however, we have decided to show him our support by raising funds for Macmillan.
Lymphoma occurs most commonly in teenagers and young adults. About four in five (80%) of all lymphomas diagnosed are Hodgkin lymphoma and over 9,700 people in the are diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma each year.
In order to raise much needed funds for Macmillan Cancer Support, who provide practical, medical and financial support and push for better cancer care, a trio of staff at Nolan Redshaw are going to compete in the Sheffield Half Marathon 2010, on Sunday 25 April.
By raising £1,000, this would fund a Macmillan nurse for a working week. We aim to raise as much money as possible for Macmillan, who aim to reach and improve the lives of everyone living with cancer, including Andrew.
