Thanks for taking the time to visit my fundraising page.
This will be my second time hiking for Maggies Cancer Caring Centres, since my last hike the Charity have raised enough money to open their brand new centre in Charing Cross, London. During the centres first six weeks it helped 1,800 people suffering with Cancer and every day it welcomes 40 cancer patients through its doors. If you were kind enough to support me on my last hike - thank you and well done for making this happen. Because it is your money that has gone towards making the dream of a Maggies Cancer Caring Centre in London become a reality.
The Maggies Centres help people suffering with cancer and they also give back up support to those who are caring for a sick relative or friend. Unfortunately todays need for Maggies Centres has never been greater, with 1 in 3 people facing a cancer diagnosis in their lifetime. This years hike is a particularly poignant one for me, and I would like to do my best to raise as much as possible.
Maggies are 100% reliant on voluntary contributions and if you feel that you are able to give a donation it would be very much appreciated and well used.
Their are four of us hiking this year - Glyn and Carla, my very good friends who would walk till they dropped to help anyone in need, and who I might add, have run 10k distances for charity more times than is sensible for normal people. Another good friend Claire, is joining us on her first hiking adventure for Maggies and I know she will be totally committed (I know - she should have been committed years ago !!!) and who, like the rest of us, is going to her own physical limits to help those in need.
So wish us luck and think of us on Friday 19th September, when you are settling down in front of the television or down the pub, as this will give us the mental strength to get us around the 20 mile route.
Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Maggie's Centres gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.
If you can please sponsor me it would be much appreciated and please, please pass this web link onto any of your friends or colleagues who may be able to donate a little towards this excellent cause.
Don't forget if you would like to join us on our hike you would be more than welcome.
Thanks for taking the time to read this page
lots of love
