Alison completed the London Marathon in 5 hours 17 minutes and has raised £3244.89
An amazing achievement, especially by the girl that only took up running at the start of “Lockdownâ€!
We are so proud of you Alison and know that our bestie Caroline would be too!

Alison Cutts runs the marathon
/0 Comments/by Adam LynchHi my name is Alison and I’m privileged to be to running The London Marathon this October, for Emma’s Bubble Trust 💕
I am running in honour and memory of my gorgeous friend Caroline Welford, who passed away last year 💜
I am not a runner and have a love/hate relationship with it! But, I am determined to do this and make Caroline and Emma’s Bubble proud.
Training is going well I had a 13 mile run this week and I survived!
I would love it if you could sponsor me and help smash my fund-raising target. Anyone that does, can choose to add a song to my Marathon Playlist, whatever you fancy, to help me along on the big day.
This is my link, so don’t forget to leave your song choice in a message:)
Thank you in advance. Have a great day. Love Alison x

Royal Marsden flat has had a revamp
/0 Comments/by Adam LynchAs many of you know, back in 2015 we purchased a flat, close to The Royal Marsden Hospital, for the soul intention of allowing patients and their families to stay while receiving treatment.
When we moved in, we renovated the Royal Marsden flat from top to bottom, painting throughout and installing new furniture. Many families have used the flat since and while we don’t get to hear about all of them (due to us handing over full use of the flat to The Royal Marsden Hospital) when we do it makes us proud to know that the money we’re raising is truly helping on the front line. It’s comforting to know that the flat is been being put to good use.
So we thought it would be a good idea after 5 years to upgrade the place slightly, adding in new decor and carpets throughout. This also is coupled with the fact that Regency Grove are funding the flats internet each month, providing patients and families with that much needed connection while they’re away from home. We hope that you agree that it’s definitely cosier than it was before and we’re really happy with the new look. Let us know if you agree!

Matt Rose shaves his head!
/0 Comments/by Adam LynchA huge thank you to Matt Rose who decided in lock down to shave his head during lock down and donated £323 to the charity.
We were really touched by Matt’s story of why he decided to raise money. Turns out we had helped to support his family when his brother was having treatment for Stage 4 Hodgkins Lymphoma at The Royal Marsden Hospital in Sutton. Being from Saint Leonards-on-Sea the journey to the hospital was an hour and 20 minutes on a good day, so having the ability to rest up at our flat helped his family to stay with his brother later and have a home away from home.
You can see before and after pictures of Matt’s head shaving below! Thanks again Matt.


A sad loss for us all
/0 Comments/by Adam LynchAs many of you already know we very sadly lost someone very dear to us on 21 April 2020.
Caroline Welford was a valued member of our events committee as well as being a very dear friend.
She has given her time and support since our charity was started and has played a huge part in all of our lives.
We shall miss her smile, her generosity and her great sense of fun. Caroline was truly a very special lady.
Our love and condolences go to Colin, Tom and Sophie who she loved so much.
Thank you to everyone that has donated to our charity in Caroline’s memory, it means so much to us as I know it would to Caroline too.
She will always be that bright star in the sky with a special twinkle and will always be in our hearts. We will miss her terribly
Rest peacefully lovely lady.
