I am taking on the challenge of running my first half Marathon this year with one of my closest friends, who has been supported through his own cancer journey by the wonderful staff at Friends of Anchor. Any donation big or small would be greatly appreciated.

Do you want to join me in making a difference? I'm raising money in aid of Friends of ANCHOR and every donation will help. Thank you in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me.

More information about Friends of ANCHOR: Friends of ANCHOR works alongside the NHS, striving to give every North-east cancer and haematology patient access to the highest quality care and support, and the best possible treatment, throughout their diagnosis.

Thanks to the kindness of donors and fundraisers, the charity can provide its wellbeing services completely free of charge, within the hospital setting and at home. As well as investing in research and equipment, advancing cancer treatment and diagnosing cancer earlier.
