Story

THANK YOU FOR SPONSORING ME!!

Yes I was walking!  This is less than one mile from the finish.  I kept up with the womble until he put in a sprint finish at the end - 2nd year running he has beaten me by a few yards!

My time in the searing heat was 5 hours and 6 mins - and you can tell by the look on my face it was extremely painful!

I ran for a local charity which needs even more support in its struggle to provide its incredibly valuable services, which are given free to the local South Hampshire Community.

1 in 3 of us will be diagnosed with some form of cancer, and there are over 200 different types.    It is likely that all of us in our lifetime will know family or a friend who has been diagnosed with cancer.   Many years ago my grandmother was and very sadly she died.  A little later, my cousin, who successfully fought against it.   Within the last month a close friend, for whom I pray things go well.

The Harbour Cancer Support Centre offers patients, family, carers and friends a place to go locally, where they can receive information, counselling and complimentary therapies.  More importantly it  gives a sense of community and a sharing of the burden of those far reaching consequences of cancer.

Every single penny of your donation will help the continuation of that support which has been a huge comfort to thousands of people "touched" by cancer in my local area for many years.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Harbour Cancer Support Centre 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.
