Thank you for taking the time to visit my fundraising page. Twelve years ago I became seriously ill and spent over two months in a coma, with doctors holding out little hope for my survival. Thankfully I pulled through but was told in no uncertain terms that my quality of life would be severely impaired and that neither I nor my family should expect great things from me in the future! (charming) I'm glad to say that, since then I have been able to juggle the demands of a home and three great kids, (or four if you include my husband!) For some time I've been looking for something to really challenge me, and having recently read an article about a trek on the Great Wall of China in aid of the Breast Cancer Campaign, I thought - Aha there's a cause I'd love to support..... so, although I'm a bit late joining the team, and therefore a bit pushed for time on raising the required funds in time, I'm really determined to try the best for this fantastically deserving cause. I know that with bills for Christmas and New Year coming in, this is probably the worst possible time to try and launch a fundraising campaign, but, ever the optimist, I'm appealing to any of you who may still have something left in the piggy bank to consider sponsoring me for this cause. Don't forget too that if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to! Many thanks for your support. Stephanie XX
