Story

Welcome to my Just Giving fundraising page! I am running the 2025 Edinburgh Half Marathon for Breast Friends and Family (SCIO).

I hate the outdoors, I don’t like sportswear or being active beyond the absolute minimum in life so this presents quite the challenge. I’m not exactly known for my fitness so thought this would be a challenge worth sponsoring right??. Who wants to sponsor some do gooding fitness freak when you can sponsor me - a lazy ginger who usually exercises no more than an exaggerated eye roll.

Also this is a great, small local charity that does brilliant work and think how good you will feel when you support them. Even if you don’t like me you can still support this local charity and know your donation contributes to the misery I will feel running for three hours.

They are a fantastic Charity and I would be so grateful if you could take the time to sponsor me to help the cause.

About the charity

Breast Friends and Family support breast cancer patients at St John’s Hospital in Livingston, through diagnosis, treatment and recovery; to provide the little things that make a big difference. Breast Friends and Family has been setup by Hazel, her sister Mandy, mother Sylvia and daughter Holly. Hazel was diagnosed with breast cancer in June 2015 which shocked the family but the challenges this diagnosis brought were faced with a steely determination to keep life going as normal and provide Hazel with the support she needed through treatment and recovery. The family realised that patients are supported by a number of cancer charities, each one giving additional support that patients are not even aware that they need. They began fund raising, by dancing, running, walking, knitting, sewing and organising events in support of many cancer charities. Hazel was given lots of support from a local charity based at St John’s Hospital in Livingston. As she recovered she wanted to help and support this local charity so that others like her, having a breast cancer diagnosis, were helped in the way that she was. Sadly this charity is no longer running. Hazel and her family and friends are now determined to make sure that all patients diagnosed with breast cancer at St John’s, are given the kind of help they don’t even realise they need. Providing the little things that make a big difference.
