Story

Thanks for visiting my Race for Life page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online - it's quick, easy and totally secure.

As most of you reading this will know,  me and my family have recently lost our beautiful Nan because of crappy cancer.  Even if you didn't I want to say thanks for even taking the time to consider sponsoring me. 

This might come as a surprise to a lot of you but I am not exactly keen on running, not even for a bus let alone 5k.  But after losing one of the main people who have influenced my life to cancer I thought what can I do.  So we came up with a run, something so simple that might take us a step closer to beating cancer and never losing anyone again, it felt like a no brainer! So from now on I will be training and getting my fitness into check so I can do my Nan proud and make her laugh as I run through the mud :)

I know the money you give today will never bring back the people we have all lost, but I am making 1000% sure that I do as much as I can to help research, even in such a small way.   

If any of you would like to sponsor me I will make a promise not to let you down and on July 18th we can say we've done it!

Events like Race for Life are vital in funding Cancer Research UK's life-saving work into preventing, diagnosing and treating cancer. By sponsoring me, we can unite and create a force that cancer can't ignore.

Gift Aid it!

If you're a UK taxpayer, please remember to tick the Gift Aid box as this will increase your donation by at least 25% at no cost to you.

Sponsor me now, and we can become cancer's worst nightmare.

One day we will beat cancer. Help us make it sooner.
