Story

I have done a number of Races for charity over the years, but this year this one really hits home.

Sadly, in March 2023 I lost my beautiful mum Wendy to this awful disease. Mum was admitted to hospital on a Sunday, our family was told a week later there was cancer everywhere, so advanced there was nothing to be done. Mum passed away the next day with us around her. She was 67 years old and had just begun retirement. Life is very unfair, and I never thought I'd be without my mum at this age.

Nothing I can do will ever bring mum back, or make it easier to be without her but if we can avoid another family going through the same situation then so be it. Which is why I'm taking part in the Bath half to raise money and support others. 

Thanks for supporting my fundraising. Macmillan gives people with cancer everything they’ve got. If you’re diagnosed, your worries are Macmillan’s worries. Macmillan’s doing whatever it takes. But without your help, Macmillan can’t support everyone who needs them.Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and secure. Your details are safe, JustGiving - they'll never sell them or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs.
