My story

Bonjour! Hello!

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. This June, I am taking part in a challenging trek in Peru over 10 days. Hence the training started this time last year! It will probably be one of my toughest walks ever. You know me I’m always up for a challenge and what better to do it for a worthy course such as Cancer Research.

I’d be kidding myself if I was to say that no one has ever been touched by the effects of Cancer, albeit a friend, work colleague, member of the family or indirect family. It’s a shock to us all even when we hear the word. But today with increasing developments we are all becoming less and less fearful of it as I myself know of several people who have suffered and survived the traumas and are today going about their lives as normal. However I also know of many that have not been able to get through it due to all the varying kinds of cancer that we come across. So please help me to raise as much money as possible to help this charity continue its efforts & research to help and support other people and their families when the unimaginable happens.

For your information: I will be funding and paying the total cost of the actual trip myself (travel & expenses), so ALL your donations go directly to the Charity NOT to the cost of the trip.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Cancer Research UK will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please don't hesitate to sponsor this great cause now!

Many thanks for all your kind support. It is very much appreciated,

Love Shelley x x
