This July the Absolute team will be taking part in the
Pretty Muddy Race for Life in Exeter to raise money for Cancer Research. Pretty Muddy® isn’t like any other
fundraising event. It is a 5K muddy obstacle course that women of any ability
can climb over, crawl under, and charge through to show cancer that hell hath
no fury like a woman in pink.
The Absolute
Angels (as we like to call ourselves) signed up to this event in January after
receiving news that Maureen, one of our hygienists was to undergo some Chemotherapy
and an operation for her third episode of this awful disease.
As we got into
full swing with our fundraising, Maureen became more and more unwell and in
March 2016 we were finally told the devastating news that there was no more
they could do for her. She had become too unwell and the Chemotherapy was not
going to work.
Our beloved
Maureen passed away in April 2016, peacefully at home, and so whilst we started
this fund raising journey in support of her, we now continue it in her memory,
as well as all our other friends and family we have lost or are currently
fighting this. We will work even harder
to raise as much money as we can for Cancer Research in the hope that one day
they will find a cure and we can once and for all kick Cancers butt!
If you would like
to sponsor us there are sponsor forms available in the practice or
alternatively you can sponsor us online at www.justgiving.com/teams/absolute-angels.
Gemma.
