Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page :) 

This weekend I hope to run 26.2 miles(or as close to that as I can) on the treadmill to assist this charity who do an amazing job of supporting children with cancer as part of their 'Miles for Smiles' campaign. 

This is a cause that has always been very dear to my heart since working for the NHS and even more so in recent months. 

Your money will go towards raising funds to enhance the facilities in the Children's Cancer Unit at the Royal Belfast Hospital for Sick Children. The money will go towards; staffing, equipment, infrastructure, training and research.

Between 60-70 children in N. Ireland are diagnosed with cancer each year. The Children's Cancer Unit is the only place in N. Ireland where children can receive specialist care for cancer. 

For children with cancer and their families, the cancer unit becomes their second home so the care they receive here is vital. Trying to make them as happy as possible during their stay (however, long or short) is, is such an important part of their care.
