Thank you for taking a moment to read this.

My name is Vicky, my brother Philip Tron died on the 22nd of May last year in the Manchester Arena bombing. Now this is where I need your help. Myself and Grant, a good friend of my brother, are running the Manchester half Marathon on Sunday the 20th of May this year, Why?

My family would never of come through this horrific tragedy if we did not have the Swans (Bereavement nurses) by our side the whole time. The nurses saw us through all of the emotions. The ups, downs, tears, laughs, the pain, anger and frustration but most importantly whilst we came away having lost a special member of our family we gained some amazing bonds with amazing people. The nurses wouldn't be able to do their work without donations to their cause. Therefore I am running my very first Half Marathon to help raise money for that cause. It would be Fantastic if you could help me with a small donation, Thank you.

If you would like any more information on the Swans please research Swan end of life care, Pennine Acute Trust.
