Story
Those of you who know my gazelle like frame and my love of exercise won't be surprised to know that I have decided to run a marathon for charity.
I'm running the Brighton Marathon on 6th April for the Fountain Centre in Guildford. It looked after my father whilst he was being treated (successfully) for cancer in 2012. I know that their support made a huge difference and helped his treatment and recovery.
The Fountain Centre is a charity for cancer patients, their families and carers located in the St Luke’s cancer unit at the Royal Surrey County Hospital, Guildford. It offers advice, counselling and a huge range of complementary therapies, in a calming and relaxed atmosphere.
When a patient is diagnosed with cancer they often find themselves in a state of shock with their lives spiralling out of control, not knowing where to turn. The Fountain Centre is there for patients and their families from the initial cancer diagnosis until treatment finishes and beyond. It provides information, counselling and complementary therapies, allowing patients to make informed choices and regain control of their future.
