Story

In Memory of a wonderful woman, my great grandmother Kathleen Betts. 

All I want to do is raise money for a fantastic charity that has helped both my family and thousands of others.

I understand I'm asking the people I know and even complete strangers to part with their hard earned money, I also understand that human nature means we can't stand to see someone we love suffer. What's a few pounds in exchange for the chance to see the smiles we take for granted far too often one last time.

I haven't fought any illness myself, I've not overcome the odds and showed I'm a fighter. I've not spent years trying to find a cure. I've not done anything remarkable in my life. 

I have however felt the hurt and pain cancer causes many people each day when it takes someone they love. 

I don't think this is something anyone should have to go through and so I'm hoping my small contribution can help someone. Can help someone fight an illness, can help someone overcome the odds, can help someone show they're a fighter, can help someone find a cure. 

This is one small thing I can do to help make a difference and I'd be extremely grateful if you could help me too. As TESCO said "Every Little Helps" 

So thank you for taking the time to look upon my page, thank you even more for donating. You're an amazing, selfless individual and you should feel very proud.
