My name is Barbara and on my 85th birthday I will be taking part in the Trafford 10k to raise vital funds for St Ann's, to help them build a brand new hospice that they desperately need. It is vital they are able to continue the wonderful support and care they give for people for many more years, just like they did for my sister in 1988.

Please support me in whatever way you can. Thank you.

St Ann's Hospice has been caring for people in Greater Manchester and Cheshire for more than half a century, and we have big plans for the future. We need a new, purpose-built hospice that will serve the needs of our community now and in the future.
