My story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

I'm off again!This time I'm going to climb KILIMANJARO in Africa!  I think I've become addicted to helping Macmillan by doing these treks. This is the 4th that I'm about to embark on - Iceland 2005, China 2007 & Peru 2009.

 I have lost my Mum & my sister to cancer & this is just a small way of showing how much I care.


Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Macmillan Cancer Support 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.

So please sponsor me now!

My friend Sue in Spain sponsored me £50, Avon customer Eva £20 & Mo at blood doning £10

30th/31st May

Nana held a stall in the Devizes fleamarket & managed to raise £58 selling china - she said it brought back memories of when she did sales every week!

Had a whip round in the pub when the Full Motley were playing & collected £114.

12th/13th June

Am doing a collection in the Cornmarket on Saturday & a name the teddy in the park on Sunday
