Hi, Thank you very much for visiting my fund raising page and if you know me then you’ll know that

A. I’ve never run further than my car during a rain storm and I must be totally stark raving mad to even consider running a Half Marathon.

                                               - AND -

B. I love my son so so much, and I’m extremely proud of him for enduring what has been a very tough couple of years.!!

The reason I’m so passionate about raising money for the B.C.R.T. is not only to raise money to help with research into Bone Cancers, but also to bring them to the forefront of peoples minds, parents, carers and the professionals out there.

Bradley was complaining for 18 months to our doctors about continuing pain in his leg before an x-ray and scans were carried out to find out the cause of his pain.

He was diagnosed with Ewing’s in his right tibia and has since gone through just under a year of chemotherapy, during which he complained very little - in fact I was the moaner during most of it, a very protective and demanding mother who probably drove the nurses mad!!!

He had two major operations to try and save his leg and on the 19th May he had a Below Knee Amputation . He really wants to get back on with his life, get back to his sports, college and drive his new car.

Unfortunately, both Bradley and I know of others who haven’t been so fortunate in their outcomes from this horrible cancer and for these people I am willing to run to as far as my little legs will allow me!!

Please dig deep, empty those piggy banks, turn the sofa upside down, please please sponsor me.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Bone Cancer Research Trust 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 support.

Update on my training so far - unfortunately, shin pain again means that training is going slower than i'd have hoped, i really really hope that i'll be able to get round the 13miles in one way or another and i'd love to not let people down that have been so generous and sponsored me so far.
