Story
Members of staff from SACO Apartments will be running the Bristol 10K in memory of Ella Redman, one of our director's daughters who sadly died last year of bone cancer.
During Ella's life she did some amazing work to push for Bristol's Oncology hospital to get its own Teenage Cancer Unit, in order to make things slightly more managable for teenage patients during their time in hospital.
For this reason we will be running to raise money for the Teenage Cancer Trust. Please sponsor your friends and family generously so we can make as much money as possible to donate towards this incredibly worthy cause.
Teenage Cancer Trust
Teenage Cancer Trust is the only UK charity dedicated to improving the quality of life and chances of survival for young people with cancer aged between 13 and 24. We build specialist units within NHS hospitals, bringing young people together to be treated by teenage cancer experts in a place designed just for them. We want every young person with cancer to have access to this specialist support, no matter where they live.
We rely solely on donations to fund our vital work. You can help transform the lives of young people with cancer. www.teenagecancertrust.org
The South West Appeal
In partnership with North Bristol Trust, University Hospitals Bristol NHS Foundation Trust is the designated Teenage and Young Adult Principle Treatment Centre for the South West. Teenage Cancer Trust is supporting the development of age appropriate care facilities for teenagers and young adults with cancer within the hospital Trust and plans to create a state-of-the-art specialist cancer unit for 16-24 year olds in the Bristol Haematology and Oncology Centre. Teenage Cancer Trust relies on donations to fund all of its vital work.
