I've been incredibly fortunate to, once again, receive a space in the London Marathon. It's been sixteen years (and two children) since my first one and I'd like to make it as memorable and meaningful as possible.

Childhood cancer causes a huge upheaval for everyone in the family – emotionally, physically and often financially.

Gold Geese provide tailored practical and emotional support to families of children and young people fighting cancer in South East Essex.

Everybody’s experience of cancer is different, so their care and support are tailored to each family, and includes help for siblings and parents.

Gold Geese support ranges from funding for mental health therapy, food shop vouchers, toys and gifts, weekend trips away and practical help with travel to and from hospitals.
