Story

New Revised Date - 9th September 2012

 

Thank you so very much for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

 

At some point in our lives most of us have been touched in some way by the challenges that cancer brings. Maybe in connection to a cherished family member, a loving friend, or valued colleague.  Each and every individual facing the most vulnerable time in their life.

 

Maggie's is a local cancer care centre in Oxford, which exists to support anyone affected by cancer.  They will support both those going through it personally and also their family and friends, as they are often deeply affected by cancer too. Maggies know that those who love and look after someone with cancer can feel just as frightened, vulnerable and uncertain. Maggies offers a secure environment where people are welcomed whenever they need someone. 

 

Most of you would never have thought that in your lifetime you would EVER read my name in connection with sport or exercise!  Well today is that day… I am pushing myself into my stretch zone, and providing you with a laugh, and all in the name of this amazing cause!

 

On Sunday 13 May I will be joining some of my Nominet friends in a Dragon Boat on the Thames in Abingdon, Oxford, to compete for that winning position.  Yes we know it’s about taking part, and we still want to win! 

  

SO PLEASE SPONSOR ME!…an amazing cause and me in narrow rocky boat, which is likely to end up with me in the water!!!  What more could you wish for to tempt you to part with your hard earned money! 

 

If you feel you are able to...please do dig deep and support this fantastic charity!  Any sponsorship we make will also be matched by Nominet.

 

AND…Feel free to come and watch if you have any spare time for a laugh – call me and I’ll tell you where!
