Story

Please help me raise money to support children who are facing the death of a parent

As you may know I was recently diagnosed with cancer. Treatment has gone well and I’m winning. Along the way I’ve met many people with different cancer experiences. Inevitably and sadly there are people whose cancer ends with loss.

I’ve become friends with someone whose cancer is life limiting. He has around a year left to live a whole life with his wife and three children who are all under seven years old.

I’d like to raise money for the Ruth Strauss Foundation, which is an organisation that provides emotional support for families to prepare for the death of a parent.

I’m running the Wytham Woods 10k in June. Please help me raise money in honour of my friend and to support kids who are facing the unthinkable. Thank you.
