Rennie Grove Hospice Care provides care and support for adults and children diagnosed
with cancer and other life-limiting illness and their families. Every year, through its

Services at Grove House, we give thousands of patients the choice to stay at home,
surrounded by their families and friends.

sponsorship for Rennie Grove.
Sonia Workman was Rennie
Grove’s Biggest Loser in 2015
and says it was an enjoyable
and positive experience,
well-supported by everyone
involved. “I signed up as
I was fed up with getting
bigger and bigger and
feeling unhealthy. I was also
worried about being a bad
role model for my son,” she says.
“I listened to all the advice that
the nutritionist provided, hit the
gym and took up running and
cycling. I told myself that I must be
determined and my mantra was
‘don’t think, just do’!
Sonia has maintained a healthy
weight because she has learned
what works best for her in terms
of what she eats. She has also set
– and achieved – some challenging
goals, such as running up the
BT Tower, walking all 16 London
bridges and taking part in her first
marathon.
