I lost my Dad, Peter, 12 years ago to undiagnosed cancer and my mother, Margaret, is thankfully now in remission following treatment four years ago.

I have also lost other family and some dear friends to cancer so this is why I'm proud to join Cancer Research UK's Race for Life this year on 5 July at Sefton Park, Liverpool. I am also delighted to be doing this in the company of so many fab colleagues :-).  Please join the fight by digging deep and sponsoring us - it's quick, easy and totally secure.

Events like this are vital in funding Cancer Research UK's life-saving work into preventing, diagnosing and treating cancer. By sponsoring me, we can unite and create an army that cancer can't ignore. By sponsoring me, we will beat cancer sooner.

Don't forget to add Gift Aid
