I'm doing these challenges to raise money for charity  instead of celebrating my 70th birthday in September next year.

By challenging myself in lots of different ways, big and small, I want to show solidarity with people who are bravely dealing with life threatening and terminal illnesses and the amazing people and charities who help them.

We lost my husband to terminal cancer in 2009 and my brave son Colin has been treated for cancer this year, as well as countless other dear friends and family members over the years. Prospect Hospice Care have provided end of life care for Colin and have been a real support to our family.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
