My story

Sarcoma is rare but when you find out about it the way i did, having lost a much missed former colleague to it, it hits you hard. Steph completed both NY and London marathons with friends and her mum, I remember her tales of both events all too well and will be hearing her voice i am sure from mile 1!

She was the life and soul of any occassion and her loss will be intensely felt by many much closer to her than i was. Steph died in January this year after a brave but ultimately fruitless struggle. She was 28.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: The Sarcoma Trust 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. Thankyou to Jeremy and Phil for their offline contribution.s

So please sponsor me now, word is spreading!
