Lucy Jillings Memorial Cup for Outstanding Resilience


In late 2015 Lucy Jillings was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer, sadly, despite putting up a good fight (18months longer than the doctors had given her) she passed away in Nov 2017. She was wonderfully warm with a smile that could light up a room, a daughter, mother, sister, friend and a great parkrun supporter. Lucy asked that this cup be annually awarded to a club member (or members) who have made an outstanding contribution to the club, specifically demonstrating the attributes of pushing beyond normal limits of endurance and resilience (much as Lucy did).
