My story

One last mid-life adventure.. on 11 April Ben Morton and I set off from Devizes in Wiltshire on the longest canoe race in the world, a 125 mile non-stop paddle along the Kennet & Avon canal and then down the Thames to Westminster. We hope to finish inside 26 hours and will be praying to the rain gods to get the current flowing. Ben, my co-pilot is raising money for ACE Africa www.ace-africa.org http://www.justgiving.com:80/benmorton and I'm doing my bit for Cancer Research . My Kiwi sister Gillian got caught by a very aggressive breast cancer earlier this year and is undergoing chemotherapy. Her last dose is next week.

Do tuck into your Easter eggs, think of us when you put your head down on Saturday week, and help out however you can.

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Cancer Research gets your money faster and, if you’re a taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.
