Cherry Lodge Cancer Care sends huge thanks and congratulations to our representatives in this year’s London Landmarks Half Marathon, held on Sunday 12th April. All three runners recorded very commendable times: Luke (1:56:07), Tristan (2:4:16) and Sophie (2:23:06). Between them, they have already raised over £3,600 to help Cherry Lodge continue to provide our free cancer information and support services to local people affected by cancer.
Thank you to everyone who has already sponsored a runner. If you have not done so already, there is still time to make a donation to help fund CL services. All three runners have set up pages on the Enthuse fundraising platform. Click on the names in blue (below) to visit our runners’ pages to read more about them and make a simple, safe, online donation to help support our wonderful charity. You can also sponsor any of our runners directly or by emailing Tina or calling her on 020 8441 7000.
Sophie Abrahams ran in memory of her uncle Anthony, who bravely fought bowel cancer in his 40s but sadly lost his long battle in 2014. He was a regular user of the Cherry Lodge centre and found the complementary therapies very beneficial.
Luke Rogers and Tristan Rogers chose to fundraise for Cherry Lodge in recognition of all the support given to their wonderful mother, Alison Rogers, who was cruelly taken from them within one year of being diagnosed with suspected kidney cancer in 2024. Cherry Lodge was a lifeline for their mum and also for their dad, her devoted carer.
All our runners really enjoyed the day, as can be seen from their big smiles.
