Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Can you help me MAKE A DIFFERENCE?

If you have time, please could I ask you to take 5 minutes to read my post.

The last couple of years has been a difficult time for many of us through the global pandemic and each of us will have had our own difficult moments throughout it.

As most of you are aware after treatment I am still living with Prostate Cancer, and we are now looking for where the condition has spread to. I feel I am extremely lucky to still have a great quality of life, and more fortunate than many who have their lives in front of them following a cancer diagnosis. The pandemic also saw me say farewell to 1 incredibly inspirational running friend to Breast Cancer, 2 friends to suicide, and 1 to Brain Cancer. This hit me hard realising not all issues are visible ones, and how little we know of the battle’s others are facing.

To show support for those, like my friends, who are coping with these issues, I am putting myself through my hardest ever physical and mental challenge, where I am hopeful, I can raise funds for Prostate Cancer, Breast Cancer, Mind and Primrose Hospice, …. and the magnitude of that challenge is starting to feel real, as I have taken on The infamous Marathon Des Sables, in Morocco April 2023 considered to be the ‘Hardest foot race in the World'

As a cool down following MDS, I also have the 50 mile LadyBower Reservoir Ultra in October.

This is a personal challenge for me as it is my way of standing up to Cancer and showing others it does not have to change your life, but also one where I hope to raise funds to help others. If you feel you would like to contribute to either of these worthy causes, please choose your preference to donate and your generosity would be overwhelmingly appreciated. Together we could help bring about a time when people do not have to hear those words, you have cancer, or give someone contemplating suicide hope by letting them know they are not alone

You are reading this as you are one of my friends, and I would like that to continue so please consider regular checks to help ensure we catch these concerns early, and always remember there is someone you can talk to if times get hard.

Love the Life you Live, Live the Life you Love
