Please go to: www.justgiving.com/jenniferprice5 for donations to Macmillan Cancer Care or send a cheque to The Orchard, Edge , Stroud, Glos GL6 6NE payable to 'Jenny Price' and I will split it between the other charitable trust funds mentioned below. Amazingly the £1500 RNID target was exceeded in less than 24 hours.
About Jen (Things she wouldn't tell you herself) by Malcolm Price
Jen has lyposarcoma - an incurable form of cancer which normally kills within 10 years. She's in year 15. Surgery is the only effective palliative - 10 major ops so far. Max dose radiotherapy and radical chemo have been tried on her to no avail. After her 3rd op she took up running in a clear two-fingered gesture to her disease. Between surgery she has run many half-marathons (incl 3 GNRs), Tough 10 miles, 10Ks, etc.
London 2009 will be her first Marathon (not easy with a colostomy!) less than a week before her 60th birthday. As well as RNID, who provided her place, she is fundraising for Macmillan Cancer Care and the trust funds set up by two of her surgeons who, with their teams, have so brilliantly kept her and many others alive to continue providing love and inspiration to family and friends.
I shamelessly invite you to give as much as you can in support of the most courageous person I have ever met.
Malcolm Price
