Story


In 2014 I will be 50 so as a celebration I have decided to race 500 miles in order to raise at least £5 for every mile I run for Children with Cancer. There are of course many amazing charities but this choice is as a tribute to my mum who worked at LOROS hospice as an art therapist for over 20 years with terminally ill patients (mainly cancer). She died herself of cancer in February 2013 so I wanted to support her work in some way. 

To donate text CWCR50 £5 to 70070.

But I also want to keep it simple and have limited individual donations to £5. Nothing more. Nothing less. I hope this will encourage people to give a little but but share a lot.

I have set-up a Facebook Page and want to get more than 5,000 Likes as over time I believe the social media reach will give the charity much better value. I also hope to get some of the children engaged with the Page so they in turn get encouragement and support from people who have liked the Page. So please Like and share the Page even if you do not choose to donate. A simple Like/Share is in my opinion a donation in its own right.
