Laura was my friend and colleague. She was brave, beautiful, kind and generous. Above all she loved and was loved. Throughout Laura’s illness, I baked her a weekly loaf of bread. It was a small, practical act of love both in the giving and receiving that gave me purpose amid the enormity of Laura’s cancer, and gave Laura some tasty toast when the chemo made her sick. In Laura’s memory I am embarking on a year of making and giving a weekly loaf in return for a donation to St Luke’s, where she spent her final few weeks and was so kindly cared for. It’s a project called Laura’s Loaf in honour of my wonderful friend.

I am making my donation to Laura through my very good friend Jenny Featherstone who was one of Laura's very close friend. Jenn herself is a wonderful, very kind person who is raising money for St Luke's in Laura's memory, not only by making loaf's and hot cross buns ( yummy) but also by running the Sheffield Half Marathon on the 23rd of March 2025. I will be supporting her every step of the way.
