<p>Not everyone knows but last May my Mum was diagnosed with breast cancer after a lump appeared practically overnight. Almost immediately we knew it had already spread to other areas and she started chemo straight away at the Marsden in Sutton. She's been on a variety of chemo-therapy drugs ever since and starts radio-therapy as well in Januray 2012. We don't know how much good any of these treatments are but the Marsden has been great at caring for Mum during this time - even with my Dad's poor wheelchair driving making it dangerous for everyone else when she's there!</p>
<p>I want to give something back to the hospital and staff who have been so good over the last few months - especially so they can continue their good work - so me and my walking buddy, Karin are taking part in this sponsored <strong>14 mile </strong>walk in March. Plus Mum says it will be good exercise for us!</p>
<p>I'm doing this for my mum so please give generously - especially if you like the idea of me and Karin being all red-faced and stiff for days! Please pass this around to as many people as possible - and don't forget to tick the gift aid box! :-)</p>
