Sue Ryder supports people through the most difficult times of their lives. Whether thats a terminal illness or the loss of a loved one, they're there when it matters.

In April 2018 our wonderful dad was diagnosed with stage 4 bladder cancer- he underwent a bladder reconstruction at Addenbrookes hospital in September 2018 which was successful- unfortunately the cancer had already spread too far and in February 2019 after a very brave battle my dad spent his last 5 weeks in Thorpe Hall and passed away on 24th March 2019. The nurses, carers and doctors allowed us to be with my dad day and night and gave my dad the dignity he deserved for his end of life care- a right that everyone should have.

I am running the London Marathon in April 2025 to raise money for Sue Ryder- anyone that knows me will know that this is going to be a huge challenge for myself but one that I am ready to take on to raise as much money as possible for this wonderful cause.

Any amount how large or small would be so gratefully received.
