My story

***ALL MONEY RAISED ON THIS PAGE WILL BE DONATED TO JO'S CERVICAL CANCER TRUST***

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. In July 2011 just four weeks after my wedding and the picture on your left was taken I was diagnosed with cervical cancer. The diagnosis came as a complete shock however, I was very lucky to be diagnosed at an early stage and was able to have an experimental surgery that saved my life and fertility.

Throughout my diagnosis and treatment I was provided with support from Jo's cervical cancer trust for which I have set this Justgive page up. Jo's is the only dedicated cervical cancer charity which provides information, support and assistance to cervical cancer patients or those concerned with smear results.

I plan on a few fundraising activities in the year to come so Jo's is the first charity I wish to support. I hope to donate a minimum of £500 for Jo's before going on to support the Beatson Pebble appeal. Given that my surgery was experimental it is very important that such a facility is available within Scotland.

The first fundraiser will take place on Sat 21st January at 1pm with a walk round Strathclyde Park. All participants are encouraged to wear pink pants over there trousers to draw attention to the event. The event is primarily awareness raising but I hope it will manage to raise some much needed funds on the day.

I hope I manage to make cervical cancer more openly discussed and encourage all woman to attend regular smears.

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. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.
