Hi everyone,. 

As you all know I got diagnosed with breast cancer last year..In the last 12 months the Maggie center has supported me through  two operations , chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Today I still receive support to deal with the many side effects of treatment with the hope of a full recovery.

My family and I have had a difficult year dealing with cancer, unless you have experienced this as a family - nothing quite can prepare you for impact of cancer.

The team at the Maggie center were  a huge support to us in very dark times. I would like to support them now by giving something back to them, so that they can help others who will go through this and worse possibly..

I’m asking for your help in doing that - helping to help others in their time of great need. I would like to give something back, and there is a great way to support this incredible organisation who rely so much on donations.

Run the Runway for Maggie's Highlands is a sponsored midnight 5K Run or Walk on Saturday 27th August at Inverness Airport. I will be taking part and I hope you can sponsor me to complete this challenge, as I recover from cancer - no matter how little you can afford - every penny counts and is appreciated..

Help us raise money to support people with cancer across the Highlands. Maggie's Highlands provides free practical, emotional and social support for people with cancer and their family and friends across the whole of the Highlands. Maggie's offers a programme of support that has been shown to strengthen physical and emotional well being. 

Built in the grounds of Raigmore Hospital, the centre is a warm and welcoming place with professional staff on hand to offer the support people need to find their way through cancer.

Please help me to help them help others.
