Hi Thankyou for visiting my page, this year I will be digging out my running shoes and doing the great north run for the first time in a VERY long time!! it's all in aid of a very good cause close to my heart. Last year one sons best friends Olly started his brave battle against Cancer and has spent quite a lot of time in hospital with his parents, they have all been so inspiring with the way they have met this challenge head on. Olly and his Mam and Dad, decided to do something positive and try and get the facilities improved at the 9-13 years old ward, so that they are more of a match to the teenage cancer trust ward for teenagers and young adults, which are amazing. At the moment there is a large gulf in the quality of the facilities and this is hopefully a small step in getting them to where they should be, as these brave kids deserve the best in there fight, and every little thing helps. Please donate anything you can no matter how small, it all helps, and will encourage me to get training! and believe me I need all the help I can get! please read more on there story below and thankyou very much, we can all make a difference, so get sharing on social media too please. cheers Col

Ollys Story:

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 have joined together to raise money for the Newcastles Great North Children Hospital Ward 4/14 and Charlie Bear for Cancer care charites.

Thankyou,
’Together we can make a difference’
Olly 😘 xx
