We are all competing in the 2012 Great South Run as Team Sophie in aid of KissyPuppy/Brainstrust. The majority of us are not ‘runners’ so for most it is going to be a significant challenge – but by no means as great as the challenge faced by our little Sophie. This is our joint fundraising page so please give generously in support of this very important cause.

Many thanks...

Sophie’s Story...

Sophie Rolf is a happy go lucky, always smiling, little bundle of joy (most of the time!).

In June 2012, 2 months before her 5th birthday, she was diagnosed with a supratentorial high grade glioma, bilateral thalamic tumour.

It is early days, and Sophie’s family are still discussing the prognosis with Doctors and seeking further opinions on treatment options.

We have set up ‘KissyPuppy’ kindly supported by Brainstrust, to create a mechanism for friends and family to fund raise for Sophie.

The money raised will be used to support Sophie’s journey through this. It may be used to fund travelling to and from appointments on the mainland, any equipment needed, it may be used for treatment not funded through the NHS or just to ‘Keep Sophie Happy’ by paying for things she likes to do.

We chose the name ‘KissyPuppy’ as this a word Sophie uses for a very special sort of cuddle and kiss reserved only for her big brother Jack.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails.
