4 years ago I was diagnosed with breast cancer and during the year of treatment and beyond The Sara Lee Trust provided much needed support with access to counselling and complementary therapies. I can't believe that 3 years post treatment I am about to embark on running the London marathon. The training is proving tough but I am enjoying it so far and I can't wait to be running through the streets of London in 3 months time. Ian is running too and supporting me in this challenge as he has done throughout. We are both hoping to raise money for this charity that gives so much to local people and without fundraising they would not be able to provide this much needed service. Any support you give is very much appreciated.

They aim to improve the lives and well-being of people affected by cancer and other life-threatening illnesses in the Hastings and Rother area through the provision, free of charge, of psychological and counselling support, creative and complementary therapies, and therapeutic group activities.The Trust is also the dedicated provider of end of life counselling and complementary therapy services to patients of St Michael’s Hospice in St Leonards-on-Sea and the Rye, Winchelsea and District Memorial Hospital.
