Story

Thank you for visiting my online fundraising page.

As well as climbing Kilimanjaro in October, in September I will be cycling the 300 miles from London to Paris to raise money for Breast Cancer Care.

As most of you will know by now, my mum had to have a mastectomy last year after being diagnosed with breast cancer . The opertaion was a great success and she absolutely fine now. But the whole episode made me appreciate just how much cancer affects us all and how important it is that we all help contribute to those organisations that offer free help and support.

Given cancer affects 1 out of 3 people at sometime in their lives, it is lucky for us all that there are many British cancer organisations, but there are two in particular that really helped my mum. I am climbing Kilamanjaro to raise money for Breast Cancer Haven and doing this cycle ride to riase money for Breast Cancer Care. Both are amazing orgnaistaions and both offer free support, information and services to those who need them most, so please dig deep and sponsor me if you can.

Oh and I am financing both trips myself, 100%, so every single penny you donate on this page will go directly to Breast Cancer Care (www.breastcancercare.org.uk/)

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Breast Cancer Care 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! And think about sponsoring me for the Kilamanjaro climb as well - www.justgiving.com/simonjones77

Many thanks for your support and I'll see you when I get back - if not before.
