Story
This year, Innovatious has adopted a charity that is close to our hearts. Marketing Manager Beth's daughter, Eden, is also Business Director Alison's granddaughter. She was diagnosed with a rare brain cancer, Ependymoma, a year ago just before her second birthday.
In the last year Eden had to endure 2 major brain surgeries, 2 central line surgeries, over 40 general anaesthetics, 33 rounds of radiotherapy, 4 months of chemotherapy, multiple blood and platelet transfusions and many hospital stays for infections. Through this, Eden showed no end of courage and strength and above all an unwavering love for life, rarely seen without a smile on her face.
Eden has since finished her treatment, so the least we can do to celebrate is to knuckle down as she did and race our hearts out, raising money for an incredibly important cause.
Beth has already done her bit by running a half marathon at the end of May.
Our Junior Consultant Amy is doing a 5K bouncy castle run, mid June, before the rest of the Innovatious team take on the same challenge at the end of August.
