My story

 

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

I am cycling with two other mad friends across Jordan - 300km in the desert heat. 30 degrees C every day, for 6 days. Yes, I can't believe it either!

The good news is that I have invested in padded cycle shorts, a gel seat, and most importantly - a pair of tassels for my handle bars. Funds raised by Women for Women will support women scientists and clinicians - empowering more women to lead in this field. They will specialise in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of a range of devastating conditions, which cause cancer, miscarriage, infertility and genetic diseases such as cystic fibrosis or muscular dystrophy. Their fundamental aim is to improve women's ongoing good health throughout their lives and to ensure that more women have a normal pregnancy with a healthy baby.

Please give generously to this important cause!

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