Cancer treatment is about more than medicine.
It's about comfort during long appointments. It's about having somewhere to talk, reflect and find support. It's about helping patients and families feel cared for during some of the hardest days of their lives.

By signing up for the Santa vs Rudolph Run, you'll raise funds for the Meadows Cancer Appeal, which will create a dedicated wellbeing space within the Meadows Unit and improve the environment where local people receive cancer treatment.

Every sign-up brings us one step closer to creating a space where patients and families can find comfort & support 🩷
