Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I swore to myself I wouldn’t do this again as my age creeps ever older and my knees continue to be those of an 80-year-old. *But* when you have a brave mother-in-law, and a brave sister-in-law battling hard against this disease, it’s time to dust off the trainers and the bionic knee supports, and start pounding pavements again.

I will be running the Royal Parks Half Marathon in October once more, this time for the outstanding ‘Breast Cancer Now’ charity. Any donation large or small will be most welcome. As would any friends who can offer massages, inspirational quotes or knee replacements pre and post run.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in the UK, with around 56,000 new cases diagnosed each year. It is primarily a disease of women, with 99% of cases occurring in females. Approximately one in seven women in the UK will develop breast cancer during their lifetime. Anything anyone can offer in support will help those who need it most.
