On Saturday 10th September Alice and Hannah are walking from Beckenham Place Park to Hampstead Heath, a route of 22 miles taking in 10 London parks. We both wanted to do something positive this year and we are each fundraising for a worthy cause.
Hannah's Dad has been having a lot of treatment over the past 18 months and has been well looked after by various NHS hospitals, but most recently has had chemotherapy and immunotherapy at St George's in Tooting. As well as working closely with MacMillan and treating around 4000 new patients every year, the hospital is actively involved in Cancer Research, including the immunotherapy trial that her Dad is on.
Alice has seen the work that Nordoff Robbins do in the community to support people with music therapy, the charity was badly impacted with the pandemic and lost all their opportunities to raise money for the last two years so is hoping to be able to help in a small way towards that deficit.
Just Giving won't allow us to do a straight split of what we raise, so please choose to donate to either Nordoff Robbins or St George's Hospital Charity - Honestly both such amazing places so both worthy of a few pounds!
We believe that this walk will be a decent challenge for us both (see: asthma/COPD/neither of us a big fan of exercise!) and we may well be in some fancy dress too.
So, if you could spare anything to spur us along on our walk we would be very grateful!
