My story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Why I am I doing this? 10 years ago I had kidney cancer, and that was quite a shock after losing a brother to cancer. Macmillan were brilliant with everyone through a difficult time, and so was the St Giles Hospice.

I was more lucky, however, finding the cancer led to finding a torn heart valve and in a way, the process saved my life. I feel that I need to give something back to the system and you can help me do that whilst helping others.

If you are an individual, maybe you can spare £5? Although any donation will be gratefully received. If you are a company, maybe you can do more? What ever, if you can help break my online target, that would be FABTASTIC!! - YES - FABTASTIC!!

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, trust me, you never know!
