The Story Behind The Sara Lee Trust
Sara's Story

In 1993 Sara was diagnosed with a sarcoma of her wrist. The treatment for this entailed amputating her right arm and chemotherapy. The odds against survival of this type of cancer were nil, but Sara was a fighter and was determined to try to survive. She began to plan her own care alongside her medical treatment. Diet was her first choice; in those days we were not as enlightened as we are today about diet, but Sara went to the Bristol Cancer Help Centre known now as Penny Brohn Cancer Care. There she learnt about diet, relaxation, meditation, and received excellent supportive help from the unit.
During this time she often talked about how wonderful she found her complementary therapies, and hoped we could do something for people with cancer who found it difficult to source their own therapies and pay for them. After her death her family and friends set up the Sara Lee Trust to allow others to experience what Sara had achieved, to live life to the full, in spite of the cancer within.

I wanted to support a small charity for my marathon as they usually get overlooked when it comes to fundraising. 

I  know people who have been given a diagnosis that is life changing and this charity supports, helps and allows those to keep loving life as much as possible for as long as can, to help make the unbearable, a bit more bareable. 

The marathon will be hard for me / but I waned to bring awareness to all the support that this charity can give to those who most need it.

Thank you so much for your donation! Every donation will help me with every step of the marathon!!!
