Great North Run 2024 · 8 September 2024 ·

A Bit of a Break is a portfolio of unfilled time in self-catering cottages to offer to families receiving palliative care. Our aim is to continue to increase the number of stays so that we can open-up the chance of a short break to growing numbers of people. It is inspired by Angela Sturgeon.

Story

This means a lot to us as a bit of a break was set up by our aunt, and we’re running in memory of our two aunts, Liz and Ange, who who lost their lives to ovarian cancer.

A Bit of a Break is growing a portfolio of gifted, unfilled time in self-catering cottages, to offer families dealing with terminal illness a chance to spend time with their loved ones.

In 2011 Angela Sturgeon was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer. She tirelessly raising over £42,000 for cancer-related charities. She loved spending precious time away with family & friends where she could feel normal again and build lasting memories. She wanted to help others in a similar situation so she set up the A Bit of a Break charity.
