Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;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&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p> <p>For those of you that don't already know I am dedicating my Kilimanjaro Trek in memory of&nbsp;my dear friend <strong>Carole Clayton</strong>, loved and missed by many. Many of you may remember me as Allan's neighbour who used to take Kiki out for a walk? Please show your love for Carole and your support for Yorkshire Cancer Research. All donations are gratefully received and each moves me closer to my target.</p> <p><strong>Post Challenge Commitment News<br /></strong>Around the middle of July 2010,&nbsp;after prolonged problems wit<span class="text_exposed_show">h his chest, may Dad had a PET scan and unfortunately he was diagnosed as having two cancers one in his chest and one in his lung. I don't think I need to go into greater detail.<br /><br />So, as I'm sure you will all appreciate the whole challenge has taken on a&nbsp;whole new&nbsp;meaning for me. Not that it has made it any&nbsp;more important than before, but it has made it doubly important now.</span></p> <p><span class="text_exposed_show"><strong>More Post Challenge News<br /></strong></span><span class="text_exposed_show">I am also&nbsp;dedicating my&nbsp;Kilimanjaro challenge to a&nbsp;dear work colleague Elaine Sanders Brown. Come on Elaine, get yourself well and get back to work we are all&nbsp;missing you&nbsp;xx<br /><br />The funds I raise are obviously for the name Yorkshire Cancer Research, but I feel that any cancer research benefits all. So if you can help me reach my challenge target I will be sincerely grateful. And again thanks to all those that have supported me so far.</span></p> <p>My Trek period is between June 22nd &amp; July 3rd 2011.</p> <p>Please dig deep and donate now.</p>
