My amazingly brave family are having to start the fight against Lymphoma for a second time. We are all in shock but trying to form a strong support crew and do what we can to get through.

The Lymphoma team at QA have been so helpful and that’s why I’d like to try and give something back to them for all their hard work.

As I lace up my running shoes for several 5km races around the country, I am filled with gratitude for the opportunity to support the Cancer Fund @ QA hospital through Portsmouth Hospitals Charity.

The work of the charity is vital in enhancing patient care and supporting staff welfare at Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust. Through kind donations from the local community, legacies, corporate donations, and grants, the charity funds projects that improve facilities, purchase state-of-the-art equipment, provide staff training, and foster research and innovation.

Your support will make a meaningful difference in the lives of patients and staff alike. Join me in making a positive impact today.
