In January 2023, Molly Midgley-Hellend was diagnosed with Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma, a rare and often incurable form of cancer affecting 200,000 people globally. Due to the rarity of this cancer, there’s a lack of funding meaning there’s also limited research. Therefore, long term outcomes for people living with Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma tend to be poor.

Sadly, Molly died this February, just one year after her initial diagnosis. Whilst undergoing harsh treatment she had the bravery and strength to use her story to raise awareness and fundraise over £53,000 for a small charity.

TEAM MOLLY, made up of Mollys family and friends, are determined to continue to raise awareness and raise as much money as possible in her legacy.

Molly was looked after by an amazing team at Weston Park Hospital in Sheffield. Team Mollys efforts are now to fundraise for Weston Park and all the money on this page will be going directly to Mollys oncologist, who can use the money to help push for better treatments and increase the chances for ACC patients.

Our plans for this year include :

MollysMarch, where TEAM MOLLY run 5k everyday of March. The Sheffield Half Marathon. The Yorkshire 3 peaks. Sheffield 10K. The Leeds Marathon. Liverpool 10K. The Flat 100 Cycling. Chesterfield 10K. Dronfield 10k!

Plus many more things to come!!!

If you would like to join the other 150 members of Team Molly and be part of an amazing cause with plenty of fundraising to come, please get in touch with us: it would be greatly appreciated. We would be immensely grateful for your time.

We are also hugely grateful for any donations so please give what you can to help support our efforts and help support outcomes for people living with ACC.

Lastly, Molly we love you 🤍🪩✨🌈❤️
