Kidderminster group holds sponsored walk in memory of Becky Giddins
KHFC Fans, a group from Kidderminster, walked almost 50 miles from Kidderminster to Cheltenham on 7 April in aid of Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham (QEHB) Charity’s Fighting Skin Cancer appeal. The walk has raised a staggering over £14,000 to date.
The walk was held in memory of Becky Giddins, who was treated at QEHB following a diagnosis of skin cancer in 2012. Becky sadly passed away in 2016 and her family and friends have since fundraised tirelessly in support of the Charity’s Fighting Skin Cancer appeal.
Becky’s husband, Kevin Giddins, who took part in the walk explained: “This walk was testament to Becky, who fought skin cancer with great bravery and without ever really complaining about the situation she faced.”
“The medicine and support she received from QEHB was second to none. She was able to take part in a number of drug trials whilst under their care, which mostly were highly effective, and many of which were only accessible due to Charity funding.”
Justine Davy, Head of Fundraising said: “We are tremendously grateful to KHFC Fans and Kevin Giddins for walking in aid of QEHB’s Fighting Skin Cancer Appeal. They have raised a fantastic amount of money which will go towards funding research into the disease and revolutionary treatments over and above that which the NHS can provide.”
