Hi all,

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

This is a plea to all those who know how competitive I am! Not for the first time I'm regretting thinking that I could in anyway keep up with my male counterparts in a challenge of strength and endurance.

I have taken on the task of canoeing 3 lakes in Canadian canoes with the company of Josh Grant, my fateful canoe buddy.

Loch Lomond (24 miles); Lake Windermere (12 miles) and Lake Bala (4 miles) are the obstacles and keeping the company of Tom Baldwin, king of pranks, for the minibus journey the mental torture! (Does anyone think that we'll get any sleep?)

What will make this easier however is knowing that it's in the support of 2 great causes: Crewe and Nantwich Rugby Club; and Macmillan Cancer Care.

I'm personally grateful to the friendship and support that Crewe and Nantwich RUFC provides me; and professionally I've seen what great work Macmillan provides to patients and families who are affected by cancer, not to mention their doctors.
