    Story

    2019 marks 10 years on for me from breast cancer and I feel moved to raise a few pennies for Breast Cancer Care* and Ovarian Cancer Action** by undertaking a number of daring (for me!) challenges during the year, starting on New Year’s Day with a bracing dip in the Irish Sea to enjoy a temperature of around 7 degrees. Among other things later in the year, I’ll also be jumping out of a perfectly good aeroplane from a great height! Evidence will be posted of course!

    Ovarian Cancer stole our gorgeous brave Mama 5 years ago and we were dismayed to learn recently that since then, research funding has been cut by 50%! Treatments have not changed since the 1990s and survival rates have deteriorated.

    *Breast Cancer Care is the only specialist UK-wide registered charity (No. 1017658) providing care, support and information to anyone affected by breast cancer.

    **Ovarian Cancer Action is a registered charity (No.1109743) which funds scientific research at the Ovarian Cancer Action Research Centre in the UK. The charity also promotes public awareness of ovarian cancer.

    I’m conscious we are all bombarded with sponsorship requests for great causes and we’re all watching our bank accounts after the big Christmas splurge…..and yet, if you can spare a pound, it will be split equally between these two most worthy charities, which will help me to support the fighters, admire the survivors and honour the taken.

    Please sponsor me if you can, to enter the icy waters and swim on New Year’s Day! I’d really appreciate your support. Thanking you from the bottom of my heart, in anticipation x

      What is crowdfunding?

      Crowdfunding is a new type of fundraising where you can raise funds for your own personal cause, even if you're not a registered charity.

      The page owner is responsible for the distribution of funds raised.

      Great people make things happen

      Do you know anyone in need or maybe want to help a local community cause?

      Create you own page and donʼt let that cause go unfunded!
