Last annoying sponsorship update! I've hit the £800 mark. Thank you! I think I have a week left to get any extra last cash in - my left knee still hurts, and it's for a good cause... Feel free to get involved! X

Just wanted to say that I am really grateful for all the donations, I have so far raised £755, but there is still time to add anything you feel you can before the site is closed... So any extra donations still appreciated! x

Just realised that the text donation instructions didn't pop up on facebook... Text to 70070 NEIJ80 and the amount you would like to sponsor me! Any spare Grand National Winnings... Thanks!
<p class="NoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">I have to admit that when I started this page, I signed up to walk for fun and also a degree of peer pressure (Mr Kirk, Miss Plisnier, Miss Robertson!). </p> <p class="NoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">I have since realised in my nine mile practice walk that I am definitely going to suffer, and I am definitely not going to stop moaning about doing it until it is over. </p> <p class="NoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">However, in the process of trying to fund raise from my friend, she told me that the Macmillan Nurses are actually currently helping her mum who was diagnosed with bowel cancer at the end of last year. Until asking for sponsorship I didn't really know that much first hand about the extent of help that the nurses provide - and I suppose how much that means to the people arond them as well. </p> <p class="NoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">It has given my a focus for my fundraising, and so I am starting in earnest now to raise my £300... and as this is my first ever time raising funds I would really appreciate some help! </p> <p class="NoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"> </p> <p class="NoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">So...</p> <p class="NoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">On the 16 June, I will be taking on the <strong><span style="color: #00b050; font-family: Arial;">Yorkshire Three Peaks Challeng</span></strong><strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #00b050;">e</span> </strong>along with a number of my colleagues from Michael Page, supporting our charity partner <strong><span style="color: #00b050; font-family: Arial;">Macmillan Cancer Support.</span></strong><strong><span style="font-weight: normal; font-family: Arial;"> </span></strong></span></span></p> <p class="NoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span></p> <p class="NoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">This will be Michael Page’s fourth annual trip to Yorkshire, enduring the 25 mile hike across the three tallest peaks in the Yorkshire Dales within 12 hours. Last year we raised over £43k for Macmillan Cancer Support and we saw 89 members of staff take part.</span></p> <p class="NoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span></span></p> <p class="NoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">The money raised from this event will go towards our two year goal of funding four Macmillan Cancer Nurse Specialists, supporting and treating hundreds more cancer patients and their families across the UK. </span></span></p> <p class="NoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span></span></p> <p class="NoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Together we will make a difference.<br></span></span><strong><span style="color: #00b050; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><br><span style="font-size: x-small;">I must raise a minimum of £300. At least 80% of this money will benefit Macmillan Cancer Support, the balance being spent on the costs of the challenge. 100% of any sum raised over £300 will benefit Macmillan Cancer Support.</span></span></strong><span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"> </span></p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
