Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I'm going to run 10k in Finsbury Park on 24 July, despite living mostly on gin, cigarettes and cheese. Good luck to me.

But flippancy aside, I lost my mum to cancer in September 2004. So this is for her, and for everyone who is still out there fighting.

Obligatory blurb about how you can donate lots of money to Cancer Research UK, the world's leading charity dedicated to beating cancer through research:

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’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’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.
