On August 21st I will be climbing Snowdon to raise money for the Peritoneal Tumour Service at The Christie Hospital in Manchester.
Alongside a fellow PMP sufferer known to the members of Christies PMP forum as 'Cavecrawler' and a group of fellow fundraisers, I will climb the Pyg track and (hopefully - dependant on the weather on the day) traverse the narrow scramble that is Crib Goch before reaching the summit and returning by way of the Miners path.
I was diagnosed with PMP or Pseudomyxoma Peritonea (to give it its full name) in April 2007. Since then I have had major surgery with heated chemotherapy, had a cancerous tumour removed from my abdominal wall in another major operation and undergone 6 months of oral chemotherapy - but I'm still here!
I hope you will donate to this very worthy cause - Christies is one of only 2 centres in the UK who treat this particular form of Cancer, the other being Basingstoke Hospital which Cavecrawler is raising funds for. Any donation for any amount would be superb!
