My story

In March this year my Dad was diagnosed with Cancer, his strength and determination have been an inspiration to me. He is under the care of Christies Hospital in Manchester.

I'm the most unlikely candidate to sign up for a 10k run as I failed miserably in PE class at school and if the activity doesn't involve ponies or mountain bikes, I'm not interested. But here I am signed up for 10k all in the name of a Charity who are doing wonderful work helping the fight against cancer. So why not help me, help them and SPONSOR ME!!

So please dig deep and donate now.

The run went well, personal best of 64mins for me which was great. Although the course was a real challenge. I got married 2 weeks ago so been a little busy all round. Yes Dad walked me up the aisle :-) Raised a fantastic amount for The Christie thanks to your kind donations xxx
