2009 GRIM Challenge · 5 December 2009 ·

Every week a family in the UK hears the devastating words ‘your child has a rare cancer’. For families facing a diagnosis of retinoblastoma, life changes in an instant. At CHECT, we offer lifelong emotional support, practical advice, and grants to support anyone affected by retinoblastoma.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

It's over! I have finished (and survived) the GRIM CHALLENGE 2009!

My stop watch had the time as 1 hour 34 minutes and 50 seconds. I'll post the official time when it appears on the Grim website. There will be photos posted on the Grim website, you can search by the runners number (my number was 682). www.grimchallenge.co.uk/grim-original

I have posted photos and videos on this page so have a look!

I would like to say a huge thank you to everyone that donated and supported me for the event. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!!!!

 

The story...

The little munchkin in the picture is my girlfriend's niece, Abbie.  In May 2009 she was diagnosed with a retinoblastoma (cancer of the retina) in her left eye.  Since then she has had her eye removed to clear the cancer and now has an artificial eye.  She has regular check-ups to ensure her other eye stays healthy. 

Because of this I am raising money for CHECT who are a charity for families and individuals affected by retinoblastoma. They offer support and information, fund research and raise public awareness of this rare cancer.
