Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page. We are raising money as #TeamRachel for St Teresa's hospice. 

My wonderful sister Rachel was diagnosed with cancer in February 2022 but her cancer was so aggressive, and had spread so quickly, treatment was not possible and she died at St Teresa's Hospice on 31 March 2022 aged only 47. The love and care the staff showed Rachel, Paul, Ben, Sam, myself and Rachel’s friends in her last few days was amazing and befitting of Rachel. So as #TeamRachel we are undertaking the Great North Run in order to raise as much money as possible for St Teresa's.

Rachel was always willing to go the extra mile for anyone in need, working firstly in education but latterly helping people escape debt with Christians Against Poverty. She was always the first to help others, whether it be helping new parents through difficult times or delivering meals to families who needed them for whatever reason. The world would be a better place if we could all #BeMoreRachel.
