Story

Thanks for supporting our fundraising. We are a team made up of staff from Longbenton High School.

We are doing this walk to remember our friend and colleague, Lisa Kennedy, who sadly passed away on Monday 13 February, after a short battle with cancer.

She fought with courage and dignity throughout and we want to give something back to the nurses who cared for her.
