Hi all

Well I never thought we'd be in this position; thinking and talking about cancer!!! But then, who does?!? However, here we are.

A big help to us has come from the support offered by the Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation (RCLCF). Through their website, magazine and podcast we have found hope, support and information from both doctors and others learning how to fight this illness to help us look forwards with positive optimism.

Jason and I have decided to use this situation we find ourselves in to raise awareness and funds, to ensure the foundation can continue to provide this same support for others whilst also preparing my body to be as fit as it can for our fight against the 'Big C'.

Over the next 12 months we are planning to do a number of events as a family, starting with a commitment to walk 10000 steps per day with Gromit for RCLCF 'Summer Walkies' event through to completing the London Marathon next year. Oceanne is also getting involved by pledging to do her first half marathon in Bath this October, Shannon is organising a sky-dive

To ensure it's not all sweat and tears, I'll soon be in touch with details of a coffee & cake morning :-).

I'm sure there will be a whole host of challenges these next 12 months and I will use this page to keep you all updated.
