Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

Update: Ben & I did the bike ride. ben flew around - fantastic.

I did the GNS despite being very nervous - a great experience and plan to be back next year.

Thanks to all the donations.

Ben and I are doing the Manchester to Blackpool bike ride and I am doing the Great North Swim. Both are real challenges, 55 miles for Ben will be awesome and 1 mile open water swim in Windermere is something new to me.

We are raising money for Marie Curie partly in aid of Ben's grand mother and my mum who dies earlier this year. Another member of my family has benefited greatly from various cancer care groups and it is great to give something back to them.
