Dear Friends,

Thank you for taking time to look at my Just Giving Page.

This May I turn 60, which as many of you know feels extra special. It is a milestone that I may well have not reached, were it not for my amazing oncology and surgical teams, not to mention friends and family.

So, as a small thank you to all the health professionals who regularly went the extra mile to keep me going, I'm walking 100 miles in May. Please consider donating to Breast Cancer Now, who do so much to work with the NHS, fund research and support the 150 people diagnosed each day in the UK with Breast Cancer.

I have made some remarkably courageous fellow cancer buddies during the past 21 months and their stories will be inspiring me on the wet rainy days when the last thing I want to do is get my walking boots on and get out there.
