My husband Murray was diagnosed with brain cancer in 2021 and following this devastating diagnosis, Cavendish Cancer Care provided immediate emotional support to my family. We want to show our appreciation with the help of our fantastic friends by running the Sheffield 10K and Half Marathon on 26th September in the hope that we raise lots of money for this amazing local charity.

Cavendish Cancer Care is an independent Sheffield charity providing vital care and support to both cancer patients and their families including a specialist service for children affected by cancer:

- Support, Counselling and Complementary Therapies.

- Specialist services for Children and Young people.

- Courses and classes to introduce simple, effective techniques to help people feel calmer, more relaxed and in control.

Since March 2020, they transferred many of these services to telephone and video links to ensure they were there for anyone who needed them and have recently started a phased reopening of their face to face services. 

We'll be pounding the streets between now and then and would really appreciate some motivation with your donations. Cavendish do amazing work supporting everyone who turn to them on a free of charge basis, but can only do this because of the generosity of the local community. They receive very little government funding just enough to keep their doors open for two weeks each year and I want to do my bit to help them provide their vital services.

These races haven't been able to take place since 2019, so any donations you can make will be really appreciated by us and Cavendish Cancer Care.

Thank you for your generous donation, we are thrilled to have your support!

Jo, Murray and all the team running xx
