Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Having suffered from childhood cancer in 2004, I know the impact being diagnosed with cancer can have, not only on the individual but their family and friends as well. My diagnosis with Hodgkins Lymphoma was an incredibly difficult time personally, but on reflection I can see that I am exceptionally lucky to be in a position to support others going through similar and in a lot of cases worse experiences than I have endured.

As well being a big emotional and physical struggle, childhood cancer also has many other affects including disruption to a child's education and family life. All this means kids and their families need support. CLIC Sargent is a charity that specialises in providing clinical, practical, financial and emotional support for young people and their families during this difficult time.

I am running the London Marathon as part of an effort to raise £10,000 in 2015. People who know me will understand how ridiculous the thought of me running a marathon is, never mind trying to run it in less than 4 hours! As painful as I have no doubt it will be, it will be worth every training run in the rain, every blister, every knackered knee and ankle to be able to make a difference no matter how small. CLIC Sargent and I would appreciate any donations towards this great cause very much! :)
