This year I am running in memory and tribute to two of my most incredible and brave friends who we sadly lost last year. Rosie and Cath were such treasured friends to me and missed so much by all that knew and loved them. Both faced their cancer battles with grit, stoicism and dignity and supported each other through their treatment.

Rosie received fantastic care as an in-patient in St Barnabas before she passed last June surrounded by her family.

Cath received wonderful care from the hospice at home team who supported her and her family in her last few days before she passed in December.

I know both families are eternally grateful for the care they received during the worst of times.

I was horrified to hear of the funding cuts our hospices are facing and I hope by doing this I can raise a little money to help sustain this vital resource for our community and as a way to say thank you for the care and love they showed my friends.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
