Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Anyone that knows me will understand how important this charity cycle is to me, not just for what they do for many people who are suffering, but for my own personal well being also.

This year threatens to be just as challenging as we are aiming for another 600 mile trip in 6 days. The fourth leg on our continuing journey to Bikeast.

Whether you have £1 or £250, every little helps. I have so many generous friends and I am proud you are one of them.

Please visit the YesTo LIfe website for more information,  www.yestolife.org.uk but briefly, there are huge numbers of people for whom mainstream cancer treatments such as chemotherapy or radiotherapy are not a viable option. For these people there are a wide range of alternative treatments, some from other medical traditions, some very new developments, and some that are well established. 

Furthermore, there are many complementary therapies that can be used alongside conventional treatment - ( in what is called an 'integrated' approach ) - to support the immune sytem, to minimise side effects and protect organs from damage by conventional treatments, to enhance the effectiveness of conventional treatment, and to increase overall wellbeing.

It is exceptionally difficult to obtain balanced information or advice to assist in making choices in this area, and all of these alternatives are difficult to obtain in the UK, despite the wealth of support these approaches can provide. 

Yes To Life Aims To:

  • Improve access to, and acceptance of, complementary & alternative cancer treatments within the UK.
  • Provide a point of contact for support.
  • Promote an integrated approach to cancer care within the NHS.
  • Provide information on complementary & alternative medicine (CAM), practitioners and suppliers.
  • 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.

Thankyou so much
