Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Having ran for a number of years and pounded hundreds of miles of road, trail, canal towpath and hills - I felt now was the time for others to benefit from my hours on the roads and hills.

Cancer is an illness which affects many around us;  but it is especially challenging when it is a child who is diagnosed. 

Every day in the UK, 10 families are told their child has cancer.

Though 8 of these children will survive, the fight for their survival tests families to their limits – physically, emotionally, socially and financially.  For two in ten families the search for cure will end in the devastating loss of their beloved child.

The Childhood Cancer Parents Alliance (CCPA) is united in helping families fight Childhood and Adolescent Cancer across the UK.

CCPA works directly with Staffordshire based families whose children, teenagers and young adults have a cancer diagnosis and are either undergoing or have received treatment.

Towards the end of May 2022, I shall be travelling to Northern Greenland to take part in a marathon. The conditions, location and environment will be very different to what I am used to and a long distance run in subzero temperatures with icebergs for company will provide far greater challenges to my usual routes.

I invite you to throw in a few ££££ to my good cause and in doing so - you will be supporting a great number of families who will really benefit from the support of Childhood Cancer Parents Alliance - supporting families at times of great stress and need.

(Please note that I am fundraising for two charities: Mercy Ships and Childhood Cancer Parents Alliance - you are welcome to support either of these good causes)

I thank you! :)
