“We are very grateful for this Christmas collaboration as it brings people together as a community and also builds awareness for us as a charity. We continue to make a difference to the lives of local children who have a life threatening illness. Our Snowdrop Care at Home Team give vital nursing care at home and our Counsellors are on hand for emotional support. We are reliant on funds raised from the community and we hope this fundraising initiative will encourage more runners next year.”
