Story

My colleague Tracey Payton is part of a non-profitable organisation which place 'End Of Treatment Bells' into hospitals for children and adults with cancer to ring after their gruelling treatment.

Each bell costs approximately Β£145 to make and every penny they receive in donations is spent on funding more bells.

"The bell is a symbol of hope for families who find themselves on this horrendous journey. Some families treatment last for years, some for months, and each path is unique to them. We want to offer them something at the end, something to say 'YES, WE DID IT!'"

Everyone should get to celebrate such a major milestone and I'm aiming to run 10k in under 60minutes to help fund a bell or two! πŸ””πŸ’œ

So far, as a totally non-profit organisation, they have placed 95 bells at:
