Susan Parker learnt to skate at Whitley Bay Ice rink and was then a full time coach for many, many years. In fact, she taught Karen Brannen and I had lessons with her when I first came back to skating as an adult in my 40s.
Susan retured in 2020 but still teaches at Polar Club on Saturday and Sunday mornings. Her daughter Stef has been diagnosed with a Sarcoma for the seond time. This is a cancer of the soft tissue and bone, very difficult to diagnose and treat.
Susan and her husband Alan are raising money for the charity Sarcoma UK to help fund research into this type of cancer in the hopes of finding a cure / improved treatments.
If you would like to help, please follow this link to their fundraising page. Thank you.
