Story

Thank you for visiting my justgiving page.

On Sunday 1st November 2009, I will be running 26.2 miles from Staten Island to Central Park in memory of my beautiful friend, Debbie Stupple A.K.A. Debbie Worsley A.K.A. BIRD!  Debbie was diagnosed with bowel cancer in January last year and unfortunately lost her battle (and boy did she battle) on 28th August 2008.  Such an amazing person, a great friend who I love dearly! Debbie will always be in my thoughts and forever in my heart - she touched the lives of many and I am blessed to have been one of them.

Bird enhanced my life to a level I will never lose......and for that, I am dedicating this marathon to her.

Happy Memories

Debbie loved her cats, with Boycie and Bert (Tiggy in the earlier years), she took pride in her home, Peartree Cottage and enjoyed the garden.....well the part she could fit a sunlounger!!  Her love of clothes & shoes, she was certainly a woman after my own heart: many a lunchtimes we would go out for some food, only to find ourselves with an arm-full of clothes walking into the fitting rooms at Warehouse, near Liverpool Street......then to find ourselves with a 5 minute dash to get lunch!

A wonderful friend I so dearly miss!!

Macmillan were absolutely amazing with Debbie, and I believe they helped her prepare for her next journey in life.......Heather (Macmillan Nurse) was a delight who supported Debbie and those closest to her, through the toughest of times and for that, I am raising money for Macmillan. 

Please help me raise a lot of money for this amazing charity who not only help those who are unfortunate to have cancer, but also those around them......an incredible support at times of need.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Macmillan Cancer Support gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor me now and pass this onto all of your friends, family and colleagues who would like to support such an amazing charity for a remarkable person, Debbie!

Thank you again for visiting my page - I am extremely grateful for your support.
