We raise money to improve the lives of people affected by cancer. From funding state-of-the-art equipment and groundbreaking research, to creating the very best patient environments, we will never stop looking for ways to improve the lives of people affected by cancer.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

A few months ago House of Fraser, for whom I work, committed to raising  one million pounds for the Royal Marsden Cancer campaign. RMCC are raising funds to build a cancer ward for teenagers, who are so often left stuck between a ward full of adults or kids, neither place suitable for their treatment. Cancer touches everyone of us and recently my immediate family too. 

I am not a runner, I have dabbled in social run/walking in my time, but as the years creep on and it becomes harder to keep trim, I have recognised that running is the answer. So, for me, this seemed an ideal opportunity to set myself a personal challenge and raise money for a very worthy cause. Until today, the furthest I had run was a few miles. The picture attached is after climbing Scarfell Pike in the lakes. This year I climbed Ben Nevis which was definitely the hardest challenge to date. I am no 3 peak challenger and know that running 10 miles will also, no doubt have me laid out on the grass afterwards!!! 

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.
