Hannah and Kate's Manchester Half Marathon

We have decided to complete the Manchester Half Marathon on the 12th October 2025.

We are fundraising to be able to continue the fantastic work for our palliative patients receiving complementary therapies in the community.

Community Complementary Therapy Service

Since April 2024, through funding raised by local farm shop, Cheerbrooks, we have been funding a complementary therapy service for people nearing the end of life and for their loved ones at home.
This very special service has since supported almost 100 people and feedback from patients and their families has been exceptional.
Therapies include “HEARTS” (Hands on, Empathy, Aromas, Relaxation, Textures, Sound) reflexology, and Indian head massage.
Just some of the wide ranging benefits of the therapy include:

• assisting in the reduction of anxiety and low mood
• improving sleep
• supporting with pain management
• helping to promote calmness at end of life
• supporting people with dementia that respond well to touch
