Dave & Alex's Liverpool Santa Dash
Fundraising for Northamptonshire Health Charity
Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.
On Sunday 1st December Alex and I will be taking part in the Liverpool Santa Dash 5K, while doing this we have chosen to support the Northamptonshire Health Charity - Radiotherapy Waiting Area Appeal.
Earlier this year one of our closest friends was diagnosed with Glioblastoma, an aggressive form of brain cancer which he is currently battling. He has been supported throughout by this Charity, including a 6 week period in which he received radiotherapy daily. We would like to support their fund raising efforts as a thank you for the support they have provided to him.

With your help we can create a much more comfortable and inviting waiting area for patients undergoing Radiotherapy at Northampton General Hospital. Radiotherapy is a journey nobody chooses, when faced with having to go for treatment every day for up to 37 days it feels like youll never get to the end of it. Having a friendly and comfortable waiting area is so incredibly important, small things mean so much, after treatment you feel dazed and uneasy so having a comfortable place to sit and have a cup of tea is vital before you try and carry on with the rest of your day before returning the next day. A waiting room that allows easy conversation is so important so patients can talk to each other because only the people going through radiotherapy know what its like. Its a lonely journey so being able to talk it through is crucial and very therapeutic.
Please support us in getting to our fundraising goal of £650
