Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

My incredible sister, Katie passed away on August 3rd 2017 after spending much of her final weeks at St. Benedict's Hospice, Sunderland. Katie was an incredible person; she battled through over 100 operations during her 31 years and met every one of them with a shrug and a smile, be it brain surgery or a full body plaster cast. She was an inspiration to so many, a generous, funny, intelligent, caring and compassionate human being who lit up every room with her smile. She was the wildest of wild-flowers.

The treatment, support and palliative care that she received at St. Benedict's was exceptional. The staff there are amazing people, true heroes. I'm running the Great North Run as a small gesture to say thanks for making her so comfortable in her final days. Rest in peace, Katie.
