On 18 June I shall be running the Race for Life at Pontefract racecourse. I'll be back  on home turf  with my mother and sister  and thinking of some dear family members and  special friends who have faced cancer.

I hope that you'll take this chance to make a donation to Cancer Research UK by sponsoring me online.

Cancer Research UK relies on the success of fundraising events such as Race for Life to continue its life-saving research into the prevention, treatment and cure of all forms of 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.

Many thanks for your support.
