Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. I am keen to reach my target of £500 for this great cause. All of us have been touched by cancer at some point, whether through loved ones bravely fighting it or others succumbing. It's a horrible horrible disease and I want to do my bit to support women's cancers, knowing people close to me who have died and who have fought it.

It's also a great challenge. 100km overnight from Windsor, through London and back will be a great thing to do. I'm not as fit as i would like. But I will have just turned 40 and have thought about it being the first of 40 challenges that I might do in my 40s. What do you think? Ideas for challenges would be appreciated! 

I'll try and add some photos or videos of training - only running at the moment as my bike is being serviced (great excuse!!). But I hope to up the ante in the next month or so. 

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. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

I hope you can support me for this very good cause. 

Thank you.
