Story

Thanks for visiting my Race for Life page. I am an unfit asthmatic that could barely jog 90 seconds only a few weeks ago. Running 10k sounds impossible to even myself right now.

I am one of the millions of people who have been affected by cancer, sadly my Gran passed away after a battle with lung cancer. She was a no nonsense woman that was not shy at telling me to get my act together and get healthy.  She was a real inspiration, she fought cancer her way and refused to let it defeat her until she was good and ready. By the date of the 10k it will be 2 years since she left us so it's about time I done as my wee Gran told me.

Everyone will be affected by cancer at some point in their life, so lets do what we can to kick this nasty disease where it hurts and make it history!

Please dig deep and sponsor me online - it's quick, easy and totally secure. I will also have sponsor sheets for those who don't want to donate online. So there's no excuses.

Events like Race for Life are vital in funding Cancer Research UK's life-saving work into preventing, diagnosing and treating cancer. By sponsoring me, we can unite and create a force that cancer can't ignore.

Gift Aid it!

If you're a UK taxpayer, please remember to tick the Gift Aid box as this will increase your donation by at least 25% at no cost to you.

Sponsor me now, and we can become cancer's worst nightmare.

One day we will beat cancer. Help us make it sooner.
