My Story

This April I will be running the London Marathon in memory of my cousin Emily who sadly passed away December 2021 at just 15 years old. Teenage Cancer Trust was one of the charities which supported my family through an awful time. Anyone who knows me will know that I am by no means a runner but I've decided to take on this challenge for a great cause!! 

Emily was able to benefit from the support in many practical ways, TCS supplied Leicester Royal infirmary with a purpose-built Ward for 13 -24 year olds. The room that Emily was able to use as an inpatient and a day patient was equipped with comfortable soft furniture, TV and gaming facilities. They also provided laptops and Wi-Fi specifically for the teenagers on the ward.

It's impossible to comprehend how very poorly a young person can become very quickly until it happens to your family. Every step of the way Emily's parents and siblings were supported to make what was an awful time so much easier for them. 

Any donations will be greatly appreciated!!
