In memory of Rachel Barnard we are fundraising for the Lynda Jackson Macmillan Centre at Mount Vernon Hospital.

Alaster (my son) and Rachel married last year, August 6th. On new years eve Rachel found a lump, and with in a couple of weeks was diagnosed as having breast cancer, she was just 32 at this time.

Rachel sadly passed away this year on the 6th May from Triple Negative Secondary Breast Cancer which had spread to her liver and bones. Rachel leaves behind devastated family and friends who were all very proud to have her in their lives.

So as a family, along with many friends we a supporting the Lynda Jackson Centre. I will be running the 10k race along with Lawrence my other son, and Alaster and my wife Roz will be taking part in the 10k walk.

We're raising funds so the Lynda Jackson cancer team can carry on supporting patients like Rachel and their families.

The Lynda Jackson Macmillan Centre was opened in June 1993 to provide support and information to people affected by cancer. It was one of the first centres of its kind. The LJMC provides a service that supports patients and their families and helps them cope with all aspects of the disease from diagnosis, through treatment and beyond.
