I’m running in memory of my Nan B, who passed away from oesophageal cancer a few years ago. She meant a lot to me, and this is my way of doing something positive in her name. I’m a keen runner, so taking part in Race for Life felt like the right way to honour her!
We look forward to raising money together towards the fight against cancer, with proceeds going to Cancer Research UK/Guernsey Branch.
We call it a race but it’s a run/walk/jog, that we hold each other high to cross the finish line in the fight against cancer. For one’s we’ve lost, one’s fighting, survivors, previvors and for our future.
The strong relationship between Guernsey and Southampton is crucial for the many patients from Guernsey who are treated in Southampton; it is considered the local hospital for Cancer treatment, as well as the closest hospital for clinical trials as there is no research environment in Guernsey.
Cancer Research UK/Guernsey Branch committee maintains a close working relationship with the team at Southampton, ensuring that funds raised in Guernsey are allocated with a tangible benefit to Islanders.
The Southampton Cancer Research Centre has more than 150 scientists, doctors and nurses are working faster and smarter to beat cancer sooner.
