Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

As many of you will know my Sister, Mandy was diagnosed with cancer in November.  Whilst this has been a massive shock to her and everyone around her, it is something she is slowly coming to terms with and is determined to fight - with the support of her family and friends.  

The type of tumour Mandy has is rare and doesn't always respond to traditional methods of treatment - one of the things that has shocked Mandy is the fact that there is not as much research into rarer cancers as there is into the more common ones.  With this in mind I have decided to run the Bristol 10K run for the Net Patient Foundation, which is an organisation that offers support, guidance and information to people with rarer cancers, in particular Carcinoid tumours.

I have always thought that cancer gives you two options - be treated and get cured or there is nothing that can be done, however I realise now that there are other options and many people live normal lives living with cancer.  Organisations like the Net Patient Foundation make this easier for thousands of people every year, but like all charities (especially the smaller ones) they need donations to continue their fantastic work.

Therefore please donate whatever you can - it is definately for a worthy cause.

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 and help Mandy and people like her continue to fight.

Thanks
