The team has organised the walk with Sainsbury’s Bramingham Park to raise money for the Child Oncology Rooms Project at the hospital.

The Oncology Room’s project will benefit children who come into the hospital for their ongoing cancer treatment, they have to be treated in isolation because of the high risk of infection.
