<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>In order to raise money and awareness for GRACE (Gynae-oncology Research And Clinical Excellence), I HAVE WALKED 100&nbsp;MILES ALONG THE SOUTH DOWNS WAY with the help of my family and friends,&nbsp;from Eastbourne to Winchester, completed on 8th May 2011. It took me ten arduous days.&nbsp;&nbsp;It was joyous, it was at times painful, but always rewarding and deeply satisfying to reach Winchester! It was worth the effort to have raised, so far, &pound;3400.00! Please swell this further - it is not too late. It is a worthwhile cause.</strong></span></p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity. So please dig deep and donate now.</p> <p>My reasons for raising funds for 'GRACE',&nbsp;are that St Luke's Centre at Guildford&nbsp;saved my life when I was diagnosed with Peritoneal and Ovarian cancer, and that many others&nbsp;are unlucky in that their gynaecological cancer was not diagnosed soon enough. <span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>We need to raise awareness of this silent killer in order to save more women's lives with earlier diagnosis so that&nbsp;the necessary life-saving&nbsp;treatment can be started.&nbsp;</strong></span></p> <p>Thanks very much&nbsp;you for your help.</p> <p>Elsena</p> <p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>ps&nbsp;Shortly after&nbsp;my 100 mile&nbsp;SDW Walk, I was diagnosed with Liver secondaries and have just completed yet another course of chemotherapy. Fortunately I am in remission again and hope to raise more money for GRACE by planning and carrying out another challenge! Perhaps I will walk from Winchester to Eastbourne this time - WATCH THIS SPACE!&nbsp;</strong></span></p> <p><strong>For further details of my history, and my charity walk, go to my blog:&nbsp; <a href="http://www.elsenasblog.blogspot.com">www.elsenasblog.blogspot.com</a></strong></p> <p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p>
