Despite having an injury, Garry managed to complete the Brighton Marathon in good time and raised £1,070, which he has chosen to donate to the Chemotherapy Unit and the Cancer Nurse Specialists at St. Mary’s Hospital where Garry works.
A presentation was held in the Chemotherapy Garden on Thursday 16th July. Anne Snow, Lead Cancer Nurse and Natasha Luscombe, Chemotherapy Unit Sister each received a cheque for £535.
Anne Snow said:
“We really appreciate the money raised by Garry for the Cancer Nurse Specialists and the Chemotherapy Unit. The money will be used for the benefit of our patients and for staff education.”
Natasha Luscombe added:
“We’re very grateful for Garry’s amazing achievement and would like to thank him for his efforts.”
Garry, who is hoping to run the London Marathon in future, would like to thank his family, friends and work colleagues for all their support.
