THEY did it! Team St Luke's - Dr. Melanie Piggott, nurses Emma Beale and Claire Ward, payroll supervisor Keeley Jones and two clinical directors Suzanne Sales and Joanne McCollum, have completed their 10K challenge.

Their efforts have helped to highlight the essential services St Luke's Hospice provides to the communities of Basildon and Thurrock, and helped to inspire much needed donations for the Hospice in support of those they care for.

And it's not too late to celebrate their achievement by making a donation and sharing a message of congratulations with Team St Luke's.
