Nan's Tri-sland Challenge

Andie Grimm is raising money for PLANETS Cancer Charity

Team: Nan's Challenge Team

In memory of Nan Harris
Donations cannot currently be made to this page
PLANETS ethos is based around two fundamental principles: Firstly, supporting our patients and their families by working together as a “whole team” with the doctors, nurses and other medical staff using the motivation of fundraising alongside our patients to help them fight cancer through the positive energy that this camaraderie creates. Secondly, we use the money that has been raised to provide the “icing on the cake“ by funding things that the NHS otherwise could not afford and stimulating innovation in cancer care through research and the introduction of new treatments. PLANETS is more than just another local cancer charity, it is a motivating and unifying force that is changing the way that we approach the fight against cancer across the central south coast of England. Our aim is not just to save lives but also to enrich them in the process by helping the “whole team” to focus together on our shared goals.

Story

So.... it's early days but with everyone's help, we want to raise as much as we can for the charity close to Nan's heart. 

Planets Cancer Trust 

Neil Pearce was Nan’s consultant for many years and as many of you will know, was a huge part of Nan’s fight.  Neil, alongside his colleagues, set up Planets Cancer Trust in 2011.  

Nan wanted to raise money for this charity and I have now decided to carry on her fundraising with everyone's support.

Nan and I never got the chance to confirm exactly what she wanted to challenge me to, but I know it involved islands. 

The challenges are yet to be decided.  What I do know is that they will be completed on all of the following islands.  Hence the Tri-island challenge.

  1. Anglesey (North Wales)
  2. Isle of Wight (England)
  3. Mallorca (Spain)

The challenges will be either;

  1. 10k / half marathon
  2. Walk
  3. Cycle
  4. And more than likely some water action

Depending on the success we may just continue to fundraise in Nan’s name and make it an annual event.  If you would like to express an interest in joining in on any part of this challenge or have any questions please email andiegrimm@gmail.com.

Please feel free to donate here in memory of Nan, every penny will go the charity.
