I entered the 2013 London Marathon in aid of Cancer Research UK. Please support me by making a donation – it’s quick, easy and totally secure. Cancer Research is funded entirely by supporters and it has helped medical knowledge come a long way since my sister died aged 4 – but not far enough. Cancer is still a blight on my family and loved ones, from aunts, cousins, in-laws (and outlaws): I have plenty of reasons to support this charity. Please join me in making a gift aid donation as every pound you donate really does make a difference to Cancer Research UK’s life-saving work into preventing, diagnosing and treating cancer.

Thank you all for your support and for your good luck wishes on the day (I needed them!!). Together we will beat cancer.
