Story
<p>In 2011 I did my first Shine walk through a moonlit London. It was very emotional yet exhilerating.</p>
<p><br><span>I did this with a fantastic bunch of friends met through Twitter.</span> You can read my story <a href="http://www.theramblingduck.com/1/post/2011/10/i-shined-and-quacked-to-kick-cancer.html">here</a>.<br><br><span>I shall do another Shine marathon and dedicate it to my Nana. She was the strong woman who nurtured me. Sadly she died of bowel cancer in 1994. Every year I light a candle on her birthday, 30th November. The candle shines for me, as my Nana shone for me. I will now Shine for her and wear her name with pride.</span> <br><span>Visit my <a href="http://www.theramblingduck.com/shine---a-walk-for-cancer.html">website</a> and learn about Shine and Me.<br></span></p>

<p>Each day, more than 100 people are told they have bowel cancer. Thanks to improvements in diagnosis and treatment, the number of people surviving for five years or more has doubled in the last 40 years. But sadly, bowel cancer still claims around 44 lives each day.</p>

<p>Every pound you donate really does make a difference to Cancer Research UK’s life-saving work into preventing, diagnosing and treating bowel cancer – so please sponsor me now!</p>
