Grove House

Charity Registration No. 1003462

Grove House leads the way in supporting patients, families and friends living with cancer or a life-threatening illness in St.Albans, Harpenden, Hemel Hempstead and the surrounding areas. At Grove House we believe everyone affected by cancer or life-threatening illness has the right to access specialist care to have the best possible quality of life. We help alleviate symptoms, like pain, or some of the feelings of helplessness and vulnerability, that come with life-threatening illness.

My story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page. You've probably seeen the email, but in case you didn't, I've signed up to do the St Albans Triathlon, the London Triathlon and the Windsor Triathlon.

I've never run a Triathlon before, have never swum in a lake or river, haven't swum more than a few lengths of a pool since I was a teenager, haven't ridden my bike in 3 years and only ever run for a bus.

Why am I doing this I hear you cry? Two reasons really:
1) It's a great cause, cancer has touched my family on a number of occasions and Grove House is an amazing charity.
2) Because I'm ridiculously unfit, and finally I have real motivation to change that!

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Grove House gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor me now!
