Story

Late last year I was diagnosed with breast cancer and in January I had major surgery at Wythenshawe Hospital. The staff were amazing, and I feel very lucky to have recovered so quickly. Since that time I've wanted to give something back to the hospital staff and now more than ever they need our support. So with your help I want to raise some much needed funds to help during Covid19. 

Mount Canigou, one of the highest peaks in the Pyrenees and is virtually on our doorstep, this Sunday(12th) I'm going to try and climb the 34 steps in our garden 279 times(and run back down them) which will be the equivalent of climbing to the Canigou peak. This is definitely a first for me and I'm probably woefully under trained but with your support and encouragement I know it can be done. 

The MFT is one of the largest NHS trusts in the country, with over 20,000 staff working across nine hospitals and community services in Manchester.
