Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I have signed up to do the First Chance 10k race in Exeter on the 8th January and I have decided to try and raise funds for the charity Beating Bowel Cancer. They are a cancer charity trying to raise awareness of bowel cancer which is the second biggest cause of cancer deaths in the UK. Around 1 in 18 people will get bowel cancer and, of the 100 people diagnosed every day, almost half will die of the disease. Yet, in over 90% of cases, bowel cancer could be treated successfully if diagnosed early, which is why raising awareness is so important. Charlottes mum died of this a few years back and if she had caught it earlier would probably still be with us today.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.
