My mum was a volunteer for Cavendish Cancer Care for several years and then when she got ill, benefitted hugely from the support and therapy offered to her.  It’s been 15 years since she died and not a day goes by when I don’t think about her.  She would be gobsmacked to know that I was running the Sheffield Half Marathon but super proud to know I was running in her memory to raise funds for such a deserving charity.  She could never speak highly enough of them and how they cared for her mental well-being while she was going through such a devastating illness.

Cavendish Cancer Care is a Sheffield charity dedicated to improving the quality of life for those living with cancer and their loved ones.Last year, they supported over 1,900 people affected by cancer, including carers and children. They offer free-of-charge packages of therapy and support, tailored to each individual's specific needs. But Cavendish only receive enough statutory funding to keep their doors open for about two weeks each year, meaning they rely on the generosity of the public to keep running. Put simply - they need your help.

Thank you for any donation you feel able to give.  Xxxx
