Hi, my name is Claire Snudden and, together with 20,000 other women, I'll be running the Flora Light Challenge for Women on Sunday 5th September in London's Hyde Park. I have chosen to raise money for the Smile4Rich ambulance appeal as I am currently an outpatient of the Wessex Neurological Centre, where I am receiving treatment for a Meningioma, a rare benign brain tumour. Regular CT/MRI scans and field vision tests on my eyes monitor the growth of the tumour, which will almost certainly require surgery and stereotactic radiotherapy over the next couple of years.

This 5 km fun run is a big challenge for me and I need all the encouragement I can get. My race number is 20353 and I hope you'll join my 9 and 10 year old son's in cheering me on. But if you can't be there then please show your support by sponsoring me. Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Smile4Rich 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.

Thank you and keep smiling!
