Hi everyone,

Ive signed up to the 56 miles in February for a charity close to my heart, almost a year ago my beautiful mum was diagosed with ‘The Big C’ - but the strong, amazing lady that she is.. powered through it like a trooper! She was treated on The Cancer Care Unit at Royal Albert Edward Infirmary who were absolutley amazing throughout, therefore any money i raise i will be donating straight back to the Unit - as a family, we are forever greatful x I will also be sending a donation to Cancer Research in hope to make a difference to other peoples future x

This is pushing me beyond my comfort zone, but needs must! Every penny goes a long way - thank you x

The Cancer Care Centre at Wigan Infirmary opened in 2016 and offers some chemotherapy treatments which used to be undertaken at the Christie. This means it is much easier for patients and reduces travelling time whilst they are undergoing treatment.The Centre offers a wide range of complementary therapy treatments for example reiki and massage are offered at the Centre, which many patients find very helpful and eases some of their symptoms. There is also a sensory garden which has been designed to give cancer patients, their families and carers a relaxing, comfortable retreat within the Hospital grounds.The Centre relies on charitable donations, to support and develop they fabulous service they offer there. Funds you raise and donations you make will be used to improve the environment and experiences of our cancer patients and their families
