200 mile walk in Jan for brave Ariana & The Royal Marsden Hospital
Fundraising for The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity
Story
My friend and colleague, Stephanie Gabbitas, has had the horrendous news recently, which came completely out of the blue, that her 5 year old daughter, Ariana, has got Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia and faces an extensive course of treatment for two and a half years at the specialist cancer hospital, The Royal Marsden in London. We are all truly devastated for Ariana and her family so will be doing whatever we can to support - starting with this Jog 40 fundraiser for the hospital.
I can't do the 40 mile jog because of my back injury so instead I am going to do a 200 walk/cross-trainer throughout January, which is the equivalent distance from my house to The Royal Marsden Hospital where Ariana is being treated.
Your contribution will make a huge impact, so whether you donate a lot or a little, anything helps. THANK YOU SO MUCH for your support.
