Story

Running the famous 26.2-mile course will be an exciting, but difficult challenge for all of our six runners, who will all be wearing the famous Pink Lady® apple costumes to run the race in.

We're raising money for the Padua Children’s Oncology Ward at William Harvey Hospital, Ashford, Kent. Money raised will support the refurbishment of the ward, contributing to creating a space for both the children and their family members, from all over the East Kent area, to relax, play and spend quality time together.

Padua Ward provides both inpatient and daycare for children across east Kent up to the age of 16. The specialist ward provides separate areas for teenagers, children and babies. The expert paediatric team based there promote a relaxed and friendly atmosphere for children and their carers throughout their stay. This year, Pink Lady® has chosen the Padua Ward as recipients of the marathon fundraising as their Marketing Manager, Lynn Shaw’s son, was treated there for Leukaemia, and is now in remission.

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.
