Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am taking part in a cycle relay from Bristol to Reading; cycling a 15 mile stretch. 

Please can you sponsor me for this relay the money is going to Maggie's Cancer Centres.

Maggie's help people affected by cancer throughout the UK, but most of their centre's are based in Scotland.

Maggie's is about empowering people to live with, through and beyond cancer by bringing together professional help, communities of support and building design to create exceptional centres for cancer care.

Maggie’s Centres are for anyone affected by cancer. They are places where people are welcome whenever they need us – from just being diagnosed, or undergoing treatment, to post-treatment, recurrence, end of life or in bereavement. 

We also welcome family and friends, as they are often deeply affected by cancer too. We know that those who love and look after someone with cancer can feel just as frightened, vulnerable and uncertain.

Our visitors tell us that the welcome they receive at Maggie’s is what they appreciate the most. Just walking through our doors puts them at ease. This is a key part of our pioneering approach that integrates professional help with a community of support in thoughtfully designed centres, a combination that is proving highly effective in alleviating the emotional distress and practical difficulties that cancer brings. Everything we provide is free of charge, so visitors can feel welcome to access our support for as long as they need it.

I know 15 miles doesn't seem that far, but that's a long way for me and my little legs! And with my sense of direction i could end up anywhere.

All i am asking if you can sponsor me just a couple of pounds, it will really help me to get through the pain! 

I really believe in this charity, i think the work they do is truly fantastic and in this day and age unfortunatley most of us will be personally affected by this terrible illness.

Thank you so much for having look at my page and sponsoring me for this fantastic cause!
