Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

On the 8th of September I swam the English Channel! It was the hardest, most challenging experience of my life! I have written a detailed account on blog (see link below), thanks to all who have and keep donating.    

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

I am fundraising for Pancreatic Cancer UK (www.pancreaticcancer.org.uk). Pancreatic cancer is an underfunded cancer group (causes 5% of cancer deaths but receives only 1% of cancer funding) and despite modern advances is still as lethal today as it was 40 years ago. Inspired by Mike (my father-in-law), I hope I can raise some money for this well deserving charity.

So please sponsor me now!
