Story

Thanks for supporting my fundraising.

Each year I watch Stand Up to Cancer Bake Off and it talks of 1 in 2 people being impacted by cancer. This year it was my turn.

I was lucky. My thyroid cancer was diagnosed, operated on, and cured within a few months, caught very early, accidentally and symptomless.

I still had the support of a Macmillan Nurse, who was just incredible.

8 years ago, it was my mum's turn and she didn't have such a happy ending, dying of terminal malignant melanoma. This is for her too.

I realised that I must have run the Amsterdam marathon with cancer so combining the two seemed an obvious thing to do so on 27th September, I will be running the Loch Ness Marathon for Macmillan Cancer Support.

Every penny raised helps them to support individuals and their families with the challenges cancer brings. You can help make a difference.
