Meet Chloe and Annalisa

Chloe and Annalisa both decided to take on the challenge on the 13.1 mile run in support of Ward E39 after Annalisa's son Robin was diagnosed with a rare cancer. 

With support from their loved ones and colleagues, they have raised over £4,000 in support of the ward which will help patients like Robin get the best care possible.

Fundraiser James | Robin Hood Half Marathon

Meet James

After his father Christopher, affectionately known as 'Christmas Brian' passed away after a battle with bile duct cancer, James wanted to thank staff on F22 for all the care his dad and his family received.

“I’ve always been a runner, but until last year, 10k was the furthest I’d ever gone. I never would have considered a marathon without a worthy cause. Now that I’ve found one, I’m hoping to turn my sadness into something positive and show my thanks to the staff.
