My story

In October we will be moving ourselves away from our very busy but secure lives in order to raise money for Marie Curie Cancer Care.

We intend to trek across the desert in Petra, Jordan. We will trek 60kms, sleep in tents, carry our water and really miss our bathrooms.

This group of Desert Divas all have personal experience of family and friends lost to cancer. Marie Curie Cancer Care provides end of life care to patients and support for their families.

We hope you will feel able to help support this wonderful service which is delivered free of charge to all the patients.

Any money donated in support of The Desert Divas will go in FULL to the charity.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Marie Curie Cancer Care gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor us now!
