Story

Team Jenny is running the GNR mini and adult run.

Jenny's daughters Nia (age 10), Cora (age 8) and Beth (age 5), and Jenny's nieces and nephews Alex (age 14), Harry (age 13), Poppy (age 11), Isabelle (age 8) along with Sophie (age 17) are all running the GNR junior/mini run for Jenny.

Jenny's brother in law Neil is running is first ever half marathon (Jenny would be impressed!), along with Anna, Jenny's sister).

Jenny died of bowel cancer 7th November 2018 at the age of 35.  She was diagnosed with stage 4 bowel cancer 5 months before.

It is impossible to sum Jenny up, but if you knew her, you would have felt the difference her kindness, generosity and determination could make.

As she showed when her son Elliott died, and in the last few months of her life, she could make the best out of a horrific situation by doing as much as possible to help others. 

Fundraising was an incredibly important part of Jenny's life, and we'd love to continue this. 

Please give what you can, because cancer can take everything.

Bowel Cancer UK is leading bowel cancer charity. We fund targeted research, provide expert information and support to patients and their families, educate the public and professionals about the disease and campaign for early diagnosis and access to best treatment and care.
