<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Like a lot of people, I know a number of people who have been affected by cancer in one way or another. It seems that most people have come across cancer or one form or antoher, so I thought it's about time I tried to do something to help. The night hike is being organised by and all funds go to Maggie's Centres - more details of the charity are available in the panel on the left hand side of this page.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>I shall be taking part in the 20 mile variant of the <a title="London Night Hike" href="http://www.maggiescentres.org/eventsfundraising/events/thelondonnighthike.html" target="_blank">London Night Hike</a>&nbsp;- a night-time walk around London. This had to be a challenge, and it certainly should be. Whilst I often walk, this is longer than any walk I've done before, and being set in an urban environment it will be quite a different feel to my usual walks which are in rural areas. To top it off, since it's at night it's going to be quite different to walking around London during the day.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Examples of the sorts of things your donation could provide:</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><span style="color: #000000;">* &pound;10&nbsp;<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px; background-color: #ffffff;"><strong>will pay for one person to attend a Living with Cancer course</strong>&nbsp;to provide an understanding of their cancer diagnosis, symptoms and side effects and how to deal with the emotional effects.</span></span></p> <p>* &pound;30&nbsp;<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px; background-color: #ffffff;"><strong>pays for a relaxation therapist for an hour long session.&nbsp;</strong>This will help reduce some of the stress and anxiety that can be so overwhelming.&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px; background-color: #ffffff;">* &pound;100&nbsp;</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px; background-color: #ffffff;"><strong>enables two staff to run Managing Stress, Learning Relaxation and Visualisation</strong>; a six week course about the physical effects of stress and anxiety, teaching relaxation techniques proven to benefit those affected by cancer.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px; background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000;"><br /></span></p> <p><span style="color: #000000;">Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
