Story

                                  AWESOME! 

On Sunday 2nd November I ran the ING New York Marathon, raising money for Breast Cancer Care. It was an incredible, awe-inspiring experience, a fantastic day.

It was my first marathon and I ran in memory of my beloved Mum who died in 2001.  Breast Cancer Care do a great job supporting everyone battling this disease and their families, so please help me give them something back.  To get a taste of the race, take a look at www.nycmarathon.org/about/video_inspiration.php

In 1989 Kim, Sarah and I graduated from UKC. We now live on different sides of the world, but decided to get together again in the Big Apple.  Kim and I ran and Sarah was our support team- well someone had to hold the Jimmy Choos and line up the Cosmo's...

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Breast Cancer Care will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

As you can see, thanks to everyone who's already donated, I've beaten my target - but there's always a need for more, so please sponsor me now and let's see how much we can raise.  Every penny you pledge goes direct to the charity, it has not been used to fund my trip.

                Thank you all for supporting me. 

                           With love, Helen xxx
