As a massage therapist based in Kendal I have the amazing opportunity to provide my services to this fantastic organisation. I see first hand the significant benefits that massage therapy and counselling services provide to the organisation's clients.

CancerCare is a local cancer and bereavement charity that helps people discover their capacity for life when times are tough - with the professional help, emotional support and collective strength to face whatever's next.

More than 90% of CancerCare's work is funded by people like you who donate, fundraise or give a gift in their Will.

As an avid runner I have been unable to compete over the last 2 years due to lung issues but I have decided that I won't let this prevent me from doing what I love. So today, 31st May I have entered the Windermere marathon to raise much needed funds for this amazing organisation.

My decision to run is due to the determination and positive drive that I see from my clients every week in this Charity.

I would be extremely grateful if you could support me in this run and help me raise some much needed funds to help Cancer Care continue to provide a fantastic service.

I thank you all
