Nikki Gould<br />

Nikki learnt at the age of 6 that her Grandma was very poorly and had died,<br />

she had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and it took her very<br />

quickly. Surely news like this can't be broken to a family again, but this is<br />

what happened at the age of 15 when Nikki's Auntie Curly was diagnosed<br />

with bowel cancer, it was terminal and incurable. However something was<br />

different this time, as Curly became a patient at St Helena Hospice. Sadly<br />

she lost her fight in September 1995. After losing her Nan then in 2000, her<br />

Granddad in 2005, Nikki was sure 2006 would be a better year, this was<br />

not meant to be. Nikki had to face one of the hardest years as her best<br />

friend Emma who was 26 learnt that she had breast cancer and that it had<br />

spread to her liver and was terminal. This is the reason Nikki wants to help<br />

St Helena Hospice by running for them.<br />
