Thank you for visiting my page and helping me achieve my dream of raising £100,000 to help research into cancer and to help hospices continue their good work.

I reached the 1996 certified position of the Magnetic North Pole on Bank Holiday Monday, what a way to spend a bank holiday! It was the toughest thing I have undertaken, pulling a 120lb sledge and racing over 400 miles of inhospitable terrain to reach the Magnetic North Pole, but no where near as tough as it is for people living with cancer.

Having lost my brother Peter and my mother to Lung cancer within 11 months of each other I have been searching for an event which would enable me raise a substantial amount of money for Christie's Against Cancer and North West Hospices.
I really believe the research into causes of cancer and ways of treating cancer needs all the help it can get. My brother was diagnosed as having lung cancer only 12 hours before he died! My Mum had been to the GP umpteen times before it was diagnosed, only to be told she had had the cancer for 6 months! How can this happen?

I am also raising money for hospices, these places are fantastic, offering palliative care and ensuring quality of life is returned to the patient, but also offer priceless support to the families and friends of the patient and offer, as my Mum said, 'a beautiful place to live'

ALL money raised will go to the charities. Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Christie's against Cancer and the hospices 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. If you would prefer to send a cheque then please email me for details; clare.winnick@itv.com
