Thanks for visiting my fundraising page in memory of my mum, Margaret Parr. As many of you are aware, Mum sadly passed away on 28 February 2008, almost a year since she was diagnosed with bowel cancer, which then spread to her liver. As you can imagine, the past two years have been a very difficult time for me and my family. I am therefore taking on the daunting challenge of the London Marathon as a fitting tribute to a wonderful mum, wife, daughter and friend.

I am keen to give something back for Mum and, in the spirit of her generosity, hope you will sponsor me generously for such a worthwhile, but rarely talked about, cause.  I feel very proud to run the marathon for Mum and hope, with your help, to far exceed my £5,000 target for Bowel Cancer .
