Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

As most of you know, this time last year I was battling Ovarian Cancer.....  It was possibly the worst time of my life.  I lost my dignity, self respect and confidence.  Luckily for me I am one of the most stubborn people I know, that stubborness helped me beat this horrid disease!

This year I would like to do something which is totally out of my comfort zone and help to raise a bit of cash in the process!  The operation and chemo that I had last year has damaged one of my lungs slightly so running or any cardio work is twice as hard - however, this will not stop me running in the Great North Run!  For those of you who know me well, will know that I can't run for toffee so this is a major challenge for me. 

I am also doing this to prove to other cancer patients what is possible if you keep a strong and positive mind! Please help me raise the £500 which is my target for this event.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.
