Story

Thank you for visiting my Race for Life fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online.

Events like Race for Life are an important way in which Cancer Research UK is able to fund its life-saving work into preventing, diagnosing and treating cancer. By sponsoring me now you could help more people survive cancer.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me - Cancer Research UK 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.

So please sponsor me now!

This is my first ever race, the last time I ran was over ten years ago so this is a bit of a challenge for me. This is also a race for a very important charity that I feel strongly about as my mum had cancer for a long time so it's always important to give something back.

Many thanks for your support.

Thank you to my mum, Dave and Duncan for their offline donations. A special thanks to those of you who have already sponsored me online - you know who you are

I will probably walk/run because illness has prevented me doing much running. I can manage 200 metres and then have to walk and then run again. But it's all about the taking part that counts.
