Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

As some of you know i have a big birthday coming up this year which kick started me into looking after myself. When my amazing coach Hannah suggested adding a run into my weekly workouts i laughed, but did it to appease her. Just a few weeks later and i love my weekly runs which is how i got here. I have done my fair share my challenges in the past but now i am actually going to do it properly!

I choose to run for Sobell as i remember the amazing care they provided to my wonderful pappy when cancer took him from us in 2015. The incredible staff at Sobell made his last days warm, full of laughter and most importantly dignified. I know they have provided this same level of care for many patients and their families in the same situation.

As a Team Leader for the Cancer Pathways Team at the Churchill I also know how much our patients and their families value the services that Sobell House provide, which is yet another reason why I chose this amazing cause.
