Hi everyone,

This October, I’m challenging myself by running the Manchester Half Marathon in support of the Pennine Care NHS Charity.

I’m fundraising to help bring more therapeutic activities to the patients on the Tatton Unit at Tameside General Hospital. These could include music therapy, pet therapy, or creative exercise sessions.

A lot of the people we care for have very limited leave and spend long periods on the ward. Having access to meaningful activities helps with their recovery, gives them a sense of purpose, and brings a bit of joy into their routine. These kinds of activities aren’t covered by core NHS funding.

By sponsoring me, you’ll be helping us create a more supportive and therapeutic space for our patients.

Every donation will mean so much to me, the team and the individuals we care for.

Thank you for your support.

Alison xx
