Story

Hi everybody

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online.

This is my first London Marathon and to be fair i am more than a little bit nervous, please support me on this adventure and give generously to the MacMillan Cancer Support. 

My mother was recently diagnosed with cancer to the Bowel cancer that has spread to the Liver which as you can imagine was a real shock to me, my family and close friends, what was even more shocking was that within 7 days my mother in law was also diagnosed with cancer too!!!  I had always joked with my mother that i would love to do the London Marathon and figured that i would eat my words and make a lifetime dream into reality and make sure my mum would see me complete this once in a lifetime opportunity for me.

On contacting MacMillan and asking if i could be part of there marathon team so late into the golden bond process they did all they could to help me turn my dream into a reality and i can now proudly say that i am part of their team.

Macmillan have been great with my mum and were very quick to contact her to check how she was so i am gonna make them proud by completing this in their name.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Macmillan Cancer Support 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.

So please sponsor me now!

Many thanks for your help in this matter

Please email me with some messages of support at

as they would be mostly appreciated to get me through the gruelling 26.2 mile marathon!!!
