On 7th May 2022, we sadly lost my mother to cancer after a five year battle with the disease. It was a horrendous time in our lives, which was made so much easier by the amazing team at Woking Hospice, who cared for her so well at the end and have continued to be a huge support to my family.

Hospices in the UK are not entirely funded by the NHS so can only run at full capacity and provide specialist palliative care with the help of generous donations.

Anyone who knows me at all will know I am NOT a runner. My longest run to date (pre-training!) was probably in year 9 at school, so it will be a huge challenge for me to just get to the start line.

Any donations, no matter how small will be greatly appreciated so that others can receive the care and support that my family did.
