We pioneer life-saving cancer research to help us beat cancer

Story

I'm not a natural mover.  In fact, I quite like sitting down.  I work in an office (sitting down), I'm a freelance writer in my spare time (sitting down) and any time left after that, I like to relax with a glass or two of wine (sitting down).

I'm not adverse to exercise as such, I'd just rather not do it.

So, although an 5km walk might not be much to some of you fit-bods out there, the fact I've agreed to get off my backside and use my legs to cover a distance more than that of the sofa to the fridge is pretty bloomin' impressive.

Therefore, I'm asking for your moolah.

Cancer is a horrific disease and I've lost several loved ones to it.  My mum also had it a few years ago, but being the rottweiler she is, she soon chased it off.  She's one of the lucky ones.

Cancer Research UK is an incredible charity and one that is close to my heart.  I know how much they have supported and helped not only my relatives who didn't manage to beat The Big C, but what amazing work they have done to help make the lives of those left behind easier.

Whatever you can spare, however big or small, I will be extremely grateful for.
