My story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
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.
My son Ben was diagnosed with cancer when he was only 9 years old, just a few days before his 10th birthday. Our whole world fell apart! Cancer is something that happens to old people isn't it? Don't you believe it! Seeing the number of small children receiving painful chemotherapy, watching their hair fall out, being sick, crying - its heart breaking. Then you go back to hospital again and some of them aren't there anymore...
But with the right treatment and support lymphoma in children is treatable. Ben's been in remission for a while now, his hair has come back (a bit too thick if you ask me) and so its time for us to give something back for all the charitable support we've received. The doctors are amazing but its also the background support for the family that people don't see. Liverpool FC were great too, while Ben was being treated we were taken to Anfield in a VIP box and met Olympic gymnast Beth Tweddle while we watched the derby, Liverpool V Everton.
Please donate as much as you can - I'm gonna scare myself to death on 1st September in the hope that you will!
Thanks everyone, Ben and myself appreciate your generosity.

Well I did it! That was the scariest thing I've ever done in my life by a long way! 15,000 feet freefall - the highest in the country. I'm still buzzing a day later

Just think of what a lovely view of the Lincolnshire countryside you'll have from so far up. So very far up. Really, really quite high....

That looks like a very worthy cause indeed, but I thought you would have prefered a sponsored 'pointless picking up big bits of metal' ! Good luck
