Back in April 2023 our wonderful Dad was diagnosed with prostate cancer with bone metastases. This news came completely out of the blue and sent the whole family into shock. The last 12 months have been difficult all round; hospital stays, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, hormone treatment and a big operation. Dad fought super hard with everyone supporting him.

We reached out to Macmillan and their team of nurses from the outset whilst we waited for the initial test results to know the extent of the news we had just been given. They provided the help, care and support we all needed at that time, and continue to need now. Dad’s Macmillan nurse has been brilliant. She has provided support to both Dad and Mom and her expertise and care have been a necessity whilst we all navigate an awful situation.

Lucy, Tom and Sophie are running the Birmingham Half Marathon on 5th May 2024 to raise money for Macmillan, for the support they give not only to a person with cancer, but their friends and families too. There will also be some special running and supporting guests on the day to help our campaign and a team of people that are helping with training runs.

Training has started and we’ll post regular updates on our individual pages to let you know how we’re getting on.

Watch this space for more fundraising events in the coming months (one involves pizza!).

Thank you for all of your support lots of love,

Lucy, Tom, Sophie x
