Story

Thank you for taking time to visit my JustGiving page.

My name is Martin Gurr and on Sunday 4th October 2015, I will be running the Cardiff Half Marathon to raise funds for Breast Cancer Care. My mum, Jennifer, passed away on the morning of 14th February from the disease, at the age of 63.

Jennifer was diagnosed with breast cancer in September last year and after only 5 months, it spread and quickly claimed her life. She had spent her life not allowing her various health problems hold her back, but in the end, this was a challenge too far.

She was a caring mother, wife, sister, aunt, and friend to so many and will be dearly missed by all. She was the bravest woman I know and I am proud to call myself her son.

Anyone else who has seen someone they love battle cancer will understand what a horrible disease it is and why we need to eradicate it from our world as soon as we can.


Also, please remember to add Gift Aid. It allows the charity to claim an extra 25% of your donation amount at no extra cost to yourself.

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. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
