Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Someone close to me is battling cancer and has been now for a few years, she has her lempodema treatment from Florence nightingale and speaking with them she said with covid they are really struggling with fundraising with no events being held, so this is my reason for running for this charity. 

She said lempodema is the worst feeling ever, not that she shows that to most of us. she is such a strong brave lady her and her family are such an inspiration. I am sure all of her positivity has been the best medication. Watching them as a family has made me realise, life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass it's about learning how to dance in the rain. 

Keep on fighting.

when I am running I just have to keep reminding my self my pain is nothing compared to what others have to battle very day.

Thanks for reading here is a little info on what the chairty does 

Florence Nightingale Hospice provides a range of palliative and end-of-life care services to people in Buckinghamshire and parts of Oxfordshire and south Bedfordshire who have life-limiting illnesses such as chronic lung conditions, cancer and neurological conditions. It has an In-Patient Unit with twelve beds in the Hospice, and it supports patients in the home through the Nightingale 24/7 Care and Community Nursing Teams.

In addition, the Day Hospice offers physical, therapeutic and emotional support to people who have been diagnosed with a terminal illness, but who are able to live independently at home. The Hospice also runs the Lymphoedema Clinic and cares for and supports families and friends of patients, through the Bereavement Support Team and Florrie’s Children’s Team.
