Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Cancer affects almost everyone at some point in their lives.

My father, James Bass, died of a heart attack, just weeks after the diagnosis of a rare brain tumour back in December 1998.  He never got to the stage where he needed Palative Care.

In addition to this, my wife suffered from Ovarium Cancer back in 2005.  Thankfully she beat it, and has had no problems since.

Macmillen Cancer Support help those when they and their families have no where to turn.  They give generously to those in need.  We need to support them the way they support others.

My aim is to raise as much money as possible over the next 12 months by losing weight.  I need to do this anyway, so thought that I may as well help people in the process.

My start weight is 160kg/25st (approx).  I aim to lose at least 45kg/7st (approx.) in the next 12 months.  I will post regular monthly reports to update you all of my progress.

I don't see a penny of the money you donate.  Nor do I want to.  Everything is done through JustGiving, and funds go direct to the chatiry.
