They work in partnership with MacMillan Cancer Support and you can learn more about their work here fun.org.uk/cancersupport More details on the leaflet enclosed.

Well done! Amazing amount raised.We would like to say a huge thank you to Christina and JJ at The Royal Bank of Scotland who raised the amazing sum of £5,500 for Bethesda Hospice and Western Isles Cancer Care Initiative. These two amazing women ran the Autoparts Stornoway Half Marathon in memory of their very special and much loved friend Claire.
Christina and JJ said:-
'We lost our darling friend Claire in 2024 and at her funeral the collection was supporting these two charities as they were dear to her. Knowing all the challenges she faced, we wanted to challenge ourselves to run the Stornoway half marathon although our challenge pales into insignificance in comparison to what she faced. She through her own fundraising has inspired us to do likewise.
Work colleagues become like family and the saying “chance made us colleagues but the fun and laughter made us friends” is so true of the time we all had with Claire. A lesson she taught us was not how short life is but how we spend it, so live, love, laugh and enjoy all that we have (even if it is doing a half marathon 😂)
Doing the half helped us focus and deal with losing Claire in a positive way. It didn’t make the loss easier but gave us a purpose. The 2 charities were her choice for her funeral so seemed appropriate.'
Christina and JJ took on a huge challenge and we are so grateful to them for supporting Bethesda Hospice.
