Sooner or later cancer touches all of us. Either a doctor delivers the devastating diagnosis we’ve got it or somebody we love gets it. The disease brings some people closer and drives others far apart. Everybody finds their own way of coping. The Monster is big enough for everyone whether they cope by pushing themselves to the physical limit taking part or get quiet comfort donating a few pounds anonymously to someone they care about.

If you know my friend Gwen who has cancer or want to give me the guts to make it through the Great Glen on Prince William’s wedding weekend, please click on donate. Gwen and thousands like her, and me, will be very grateful.
