Andy says, ‘ I am truly blown away by this amount. Getting sponsors is getting harder and harder each year, and this year was the most difficult. A really big thank you to all the businesses and individuals that sponsored me.
As a volunteer & ambassador for The Cancer Support Centre Sutton Coldfield, I’ve witnessed first hand the difference support, provided by the wonderful team, makes to the lives of those living with cancer. As a small organisation, they need to raise substantial sums of money each year to continue to offer this specialist and invaluable complimentary cancer care.’
Andy you are an inspiration to so many people, and your support is always amazing !
Not only did they complete the course – they did it whilst pushing a hot tub! Now that’s dedication!
Thank you, RotoSpa, we are very grateful for your ongoing support.

Matthew said on his fundraising page, I’ve entered the Royal Sutton Fun Run and will be raising funds for the Sutton Cancer Support Centre, which needs all the help it can get these days. My wife Judy has had cancer twice now, and the brilliant support the Centre has given, and is still giving, has been invaluable. The friendships she has made, and the activities they do there have helped her through the dark times and are still helping now that things are looking better. I’d really appreciate any support you can give.’
Matthew raised a fantastic £629.87 by taking part in the Fun Run this year, all of which will go towards providing support for his lovely wife Judy, and all the other clients.

Thank you to everyone that visited us at the Lichfield Festival on Saturday and bought cakes, plants, bric a brac, vintage china and tombola tickets.
We were delighted to raise £1000!
A massive thank you to HCB Solicitors who let us use their garden again and provided us with a delicious lunch! Huge thanks also to our trustee Dorothy and our service manager Deirdre who organised the event, to everyone that helped on the day and to Michael Fabricant MP who popped in to see us!
