I'm running in memory of my beautiful and amazingly strong niece Katie, who fought bravely through a long and tough battle with this awful disease. Children's Cancer North were there throughout making life better, and giving hope.

Children's Cancer North is dedicated to making life better for children with cancer across the North East and Cumbria. Around 100 children from across the region are newly diagnosed with cancer every year and come to the Great North Children's Hospital in Newcastle for their treatment. Children's Cancer North aims to improve their quality of life through transforming the environment and play experience on the wards, providing access to potentially life saving clinical trials and funding revolutionary research to find more effective treatments.
