Welcome to my JustGiving page!

Thank you for taking time out to visit :)

Like so many people, over the years I've seen a number of loved ones battle with cancer. Gladly, some are still with us today; others were not so lucky. My great aunty Carole and my cousin Kirsty who were both taken much too soon are the main sources of inspiration for my doing this challenge.

I had seen adverts for the action for charity challenges in the Slimming World magazine and often wondered who would be crazy enough to sign up...apparently that would be me! Being out of shape, turning 30 a week before the challenge, and the first anniversary of my cousin's passing coming up, I wondered 'why the devil not'!?

The challenge will take place in October 2014 and will involve cycling 400km (250 miles) around Cuba over 5 days in temperatures of around 29 degrees. This IS a challenge, NOT a holiday afterall.

Although the challenge is some time away, I have to have raised a minimum of £2900 by July 2014. To do this I will be organising various fundraising events over the next year, so stay tuned!

I appreciate that funds are tight for a lot of people at the moment but every penny helps! Please dig deep and sponsor what you can - it is much appreciated. 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. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Thank you again for your time.
