Teams at South Coast Nursing Homes have come together to walk Half Marathon in aid of Cancer Research UK

Staff from Fernbank, Pentlands, Rookwood and White Lodge alongside their Regional Operations Manager and Executive Housekeeper are embarking on their first night-time half marathon

All the team members have been juggling work and training as they prepare to take part in this epic challenge for a very worthy cause!

On Saturday 20th September the team will travel up to London to complete in the Shine Night Walk.

The Shine Night Walk aims to raise money for Cancer Research UK. The team are busy training to walk the 13.1 miles across our Capital City over the summer.

The idea came about when thinking of ways to create some inter-home fun and to support a cause that had touched them all both personally and professionally.

If you are able to give anything at all for this important cause and support them, they’d be very grateful.

The teams challenge will begin and end at Battersea Park taking in Westminster and Waterloo en route.  As the name suggests the walk takes place at night and the team will light up West London’s streets and support life-saving research.  The half marathon route will see the team walking for between 5 and 7 hours, so it’s a massive challenge.

Please join us in wishing Donna, Chloe, Elaine, Julie, Debbie, Zoe, Emma P, Emma G and Marie the best of luck for the walk and in raising money for the important research that it will help to fund.
