We currently sponsor three carers in the local community and have recently begun sponsoring a community nurse. I truly believe in the cause Tonya is running for and I am proud to be sponsoring her to help raise awareness for a very worthy charity. Everyone at Team24 wishes Tonya the best of luck for the marathon and will be supporting her all the way.” The Royal Marsden Cancer Campaign has commented on Tonya’s efforts: “We have a longstanding relationship with Team24 and it’s great that they are once again supporting us. As a charitable organisation we do everything we can to help our patients, so it’s fantastic that Team24 are raising awareness of our work.
