Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I’m running the Great North Run this year for Oliver Mckenna’s charity Team Olly. Last year Oliver was diagnosed with a brain tumor which left us all feeling shocked, scared and helpless. Oliver has been so brave and decided the best way we could help would be to raise money to help other children in his situation. 

Oliver says....At present there is a massive contrast between my age group and the modern teenage unit.

I want us to have a voice !! The money raised is to be used to improve life for kids 9-13 years old in the RVI Children’s Cancer wards and within Radiotherapy at the Freeman.
We can then improve services for us like better food, comfortable beds for our parents, a chill out room, less dinosaurs and monkeys on walls,a better kitchen and internet and TV that actually works !!!!
I met with some of the top people from the Great North Children’s Hospital at the RVI yesterday with Mum and Dad. They really listened to my ideas and want my input to engage the opinions of my fellow patients.
We are raising money for the Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Charity (reg.no 1057213) and two of its charitable funds, the Great North Childrens Hospital Foundation, ward 4/14 based at the Royal Victoria Infirmary  and Charlie Bear for Cancer Care which supports the Northern Centre for Cancer Care at Freeman Hospital.
Thank-you
’Together we can make a difference’
