Steph and Mike's fundraiser for The Hummingbird Centre

Steph and Mike Fisher is raising money for The Hummingbird Centre

Paris Marathon 2026 · 12 April 2026 ·

The Hummingbird Centre provides Complementary Therapy, Counselling support and Friendship for people affected by cancer in the Bicester and surrounding areas. Please donate to support our cause. Sadly there are many people affected by cancer, the growing town of Bicester in Oxfordshire has, until now, had no local place for guests and their families to meet, that is why we formed The Hummingbird Centre. We offer a friendly and welcoming centre, somewhere for people to relax, meet others in a similar situation, use the various complementary therapy treatments available or simply to have a break and a cup of tea. Counselling support and guidance is available together with arts and craft activities and much more. We provide the opportunity to escape daily life pressures, talk to people who can help and support practically and emotionally. As with many charities we are reliant on the goodwill of volunteers and supporters . Please help us raise funds for this extremely worthwhile centre, all donations are very gratefully received and wisely spent to provide the support to our guests and their loved ones, helping them cope and live well.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

Our dear friend G has Stage 4 lung cancer and is currently undergoing immunotherapy to keep this at bay for as long as possible. He is now just over a year into his treatment and, with the exception of a few side affects and tiredness, he is coping well.

He, and his wife Sarah, have received amazing support from our local charity, The Hummingbird Centre, in terms of providing them both with emotional support and counselling. We have seen first hand what this means for both G and Sarah, and hence our reason to choose The Hummingbird Centre as our charity of choice to help enable them to continue their amazing work in supporting others in need in our local community.

To raise much needed funds, we will be running the Paris Marathon on 12th April 2026. We'd like to raise as much as possible and we are extremely grateful for any donation.

Update: having successfully completed the Paris Marathon Mike is also running the Barnstaple marathon on 27th Sept 26 to continue the fund raising
