The hour is drawing fast...thankyou to everyone who has supported me so far!!

Hello and very many thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page that's raising money for Leukaemia and Lymphoma Research!

I'm raising money for LLR because they help fund livesaving treatment for blood cancer patients - like my daughter Jenna who's being treated for AL Leukaemia in Newcastle.

Jenna was barely 3 years old when she was diagnosed with this horrible disease. Many, many years ago, acute leukaemias were largely untreatable but thanks to pioneering research, the tide has turned! This has been because charities like LLR are providing money which in turn funds the research to find out what makes blood cancers work.

Thankfully, Jenna was born into a world of this beautiful knowledge. She would have been a statistic otherwise.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep (come on!) and donate now.

Thanks for reading this...my legs won't know what's hit them...in more ways than one!! Stay tuned for further updates!!
