When a child or young person is diagnosed with cancer, their whole world (and their family’s) can feel like it’s falling apart. They need special treatment because their cancer is different to adults’, they can only be treated in certain hospitals, and they often travel miles and miles to get there.

That is why, as a team of staff from Brockhurst and Marlston House, we are taking on this challenge. We feel it is a fantastic charity, and as a school community we can raise an amount which will make a great impact.

We will be completing a 24 hour run, at the Reading Endure 24. It is an 8km loop and as a team of 7 we will have at least one runner on the course at all times over the 24 hours.

The impact of cancer on young lives is far more than medical. Their anxieties are deep. Their education, mental health and social lives suffer. Their futures feel very uncertain.

We stop at nothing to make their voices heard and their unique needs understood, so they can get the right care and support at the right time. ​​​​​​
