As a nurse with ten years experience of working on an Endoscopy Unit, I have seen all too often the devastating effect bowel cancer can have on people’s lives. Taking part in the London Marathon 2011 is my way of supporting the charity, Beating Bowel Cancer, by helping to attract attention, and, with your help, raising a healthy sum of money towards their vital work of education, awareness and support.

Thank you so much for your encouragement – it’s your backing that will keep me going!
