“Carole Spivey was a secretary at the City law firm, Slaughter and May, for over thirty years. She was a keen runner in her youth and supported a number of charities with her husband, especially at Christmas time. She was delighted to be involved in organising the participation in Santa in the City of a team from Slaughter and May in 2017 to raise funds for the firm’s charity that year, Dementia UK.

Carole threw herself into the santa dash event and wore her Santa suit with pride! She coordinated the entries from the Slaughter and May team and was in close contact with the event’s organisers. She was delighted to be involved and it was her idea that the team participate to raise money for charity.

Just three months after the santa run, Carole was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and passed away six weeks later. It was a shock to her family, friends and colleagues as she was someone with so much energy. She is missed by everyone, most of all by her husband and the rest of her family. Her family, friends and colleagues are taking part in Santa in the City this year in her memory and are raising funds for a charity she supported, the St Martin’s in the Fields Christmas Appeal. Carole would have loved to take part in Santa in the City again and the team hopes it can do justice to the memory of a very special lady. She would be the first to say that it’s the taking part that counts.” You can support her charity or other charities being supported by Santa in the City by clicking on the charity logo’s below.
