On 17th September 2009 I will be hanging up my business suit and high heels for a t-shirt, shorts and walking boots and travelling to China to fulfil a lifelong ambition to walk the Great Wall, and I'll be doing it for charity!

The charity I am supporting is the Eve Appeal. Overian cancer is the most common gynaecological cancer in the UK. Each year, more than 6,600 cases of overian cancer are diagnosed and about 4,400 women die from the disease. Please help me to help your granny, mum, wife, sister, daughter or friend.

I am hoping to raise a total of £5,000 for the appeal from my trek, and would be delighted if you would contribute to this. Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: The Eve Appeal 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.

So please sponsor me now!
