My sister (Thelma) was diagnosed with cancer at the end of May last year. She sadly lost her battle on the 8th November the same year. My family and I have created a group called Team Nana and have decided  to take on a few challenges ourselves to give back to a charity that has become close to our hearts. Maggie’s Newcastle is a cancer support centre just across from the Freeman Hospital. As soon as we walked through the doors we felt a sense of calm. It’s a beautiful place and the staff are there to support you or you can just sit down and have a coffee and chill out. Our year of challenges starts in February with Angela (my  sister) running 50 miles throughout the month. 11th February,  (my nephew) Cam will be cycling in the gym for 24 hours, with my only breaks being for the toilet. Summer (Thelma’s  Grandchild) will be doing the Great North Swim. It was supposed to be Thelma and Summer but  I will now be using Thelmas place.My nephew Glenn) and myself will be taking on the Great North Run on 10th September. On the 1st November 2022 we got a call to get to the hospital where we were told Thelma  had 4/5 hours to live. She fought for another 7 days and gave us more memories and moments we'll never forget. 13:15 on the 8th November she fell asleep for the last time. It costs £2,400 to run Maggie’s Newcastle for one day and we would love to raise enough to pay for a day and dedicate 1st December to Thelma – her birthday.Anything you could donate to support us would be truly appreciated by us all and I know it would mean the world to Maggie’s.
