Transforming Lives is a charitable foundation set up by Mike and Catriona Marshall to help transform the lives of people who most need it.  The foundation is responsible for organising the unique Cheshire Dash for Duchenne UK in 2018 and 2019 and Cheshire Dash for Brainwave 2021.

The Joshua Tree, to date, have received over 280 referrals of families affected by childhood cancers.

Children’s cancer charity, The Joshua Tree was founded in 2006 by Lynda and David Hill after their son was diagnosed with leukaemia and discovered a distinct lack in support services for all family members during the traumatic experience of childhood cancer.  The charity works to support and improve the emotional well-being and mental health of all family members affected by childhood cancer, in the North-West of England and North Wales, for as long as they need it.

To help expand and enrich the delivery of this service the charity completed the construction of a new purpose-built support centre in Sandiway, Cheshire after 13 years of fundraising! The charity does not receive any statutory funding and relies on fundraising from events like The Cheshire Dash which are integral to helping them support families affected by childhood cancers.
