Candygirl
Emma Candy died of a rare, agressive ovarian cancer on February 5th this year aged 36. She fought the disease with dignity and bravery but was diagnosed too late for any treatment to be effective. Her family and friends are raising money so that more research can be carried out into this 'whispering' cancer and to raise awareness of a disease that kills a far higher percentage of patients than breast cancer. Steve Moore, Emma's friend, will be running the London Marathon this year in her honour to raise money for Cancer Research UK, one of her chosen charities.
As Emma said, 'cancer's not all bad....people do the nicest things', so be extra nice and sponsor Steve in his efforts. And if you can, come and support him on the day.
Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor Steve: Cancer Research UK will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.
For those who don't know Emma, she wrote an online diary through the last four months of her life which is funny and inspiring: http://mayibefrank.typepad.com.
Thanks for all your support.
