Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>Right thanks to Alistair Goulty's (Marlborough College 1983-8) challenge, and becuase I can't swim the Channel, Climb Everest or Run the London Marathon, I am going to try and lose 25 kgs (that's 55lbs in old money) in 6 months. Apparently that is within Medical Boundaries of not being completely bonkers !!</p> <p>As many of you know, Mum was diagnosed with Stage 4 Ovarian Cancer in October 2010, and given a very bad prognosis. Anyway, the Cobalt Unit at Cheltenham have been amazing, and combined with Mum's very strong will, and determination, she can read this blog today.</p> <p>She is not cured, Stage 4 means that battles can be won, but the War is everlasting. However everyday she battles on, is another step in the fight against this terrible disease.</p> <p>If you can spare anything, then I thank you in advance. Either donate now, or wait to see if I can climb my Everest.</p> <p>Best Regards</p> <p>Richard / Stan</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
