For many years now my mother Anne has been fighting cancer. She's had several serious operations and constant cycles of chemotherapy with all its awful side effects, but has stayed positive and fought on and I'm incredibly proud of her. 

With help from GRACE she's been able to continue her fight - they've given support on so many levels and are leading research into finding cures for gynaecological cancers.

So we're doing a race to raise money. It's a brutal 46km 'run' over mountains in Norway, with 4,400m of ascending. It will hurt.

Anything you can donate will help GRACE support women with cancer. They're a tiny charity and rely on people like you for funding their vital work... Thank you! x

P.S: none of the funds will pay for the cost of the race, it all goes straight to GRACE, and 20% Gift Aid will be added to your donations.
