In May 2013, our dear friend Peter Walls passed away at St. Leonard's Hospice in York. Peter was a true gentleman; kind, gentle, knowledgeable and funny. He will be very missed.

I'd like to do something in his memory, and giving up smoking, for me, is the biggest challenge I can think of. At the ripe old age of 37, I've smoked almost continually since I was just 13.

As a Mum, I want to quit for my family. I also want to quit to earn money to support St. Leonard's Hospice, who were invaluable in providing a caring, comfortable environment for Peter.

Please support me to do this. I will stop smoking, permanently, on June 1st 2013. When I have sponsorship I have no chance of failure - my conscience wouldn't let me! Thank you x
