As some of you know my auntie died of cancer in August, and was helped during her last days by the Macmillan Nurses... I'd like to raise some money for this charity (preferably without walking 44k again - ow!) and this seemed like a perfect way not only to raise money for Macmillan, but to eat cake, socialise and above all, have fun - something Maria was very good at!

I'm hosting a coffee afternoon on the 26th September, but wanted to set up a place for a virtual cup of coffee or tea and bit of cake for those who for whatever reason can't make it. So, join me on Friday afternoon and clink mugs, drop cake crumbs in your lap / into your keyboard and smile in memory of Maria. Loved and missed by all of us. xxx

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Macmillan Cancer Support gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

Thank you very much for your kind support.
