Thank you for supporting my fundraising. When my mate, Kev, asked me to join Team Las Gambas, I thought it was a great idea: a chance to get fit, spend time with my mates and raise some funds for Macmillan. Win win. I promptly registered for the "hike", got myself a Justgiving page - and only then did I look at the details. The route is described as 26.2 miles around the Gower Peninsula, hilly with challenging terrrain!!! My training starts NOW. As you can tell from my profile picture, there's a lot of work to be done before July.

Team Las Gambas is raising funds for Macmillan Cancer Support. My dad, Bill, died of a brain tumour in 1995 and Macmillan nurses were an integral part in helping him and my family get through a very tough year. Billy is the funniest person I've known and he will be laughing his head off up there watching me sweat in training and resist Jaffa Cakes!
