Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Last summer my family was shocked when my lovely Aunty Maggie (whom I affectionately call Mag Rat) was diagnosed with Breast Cancer.  It was about this time that I had taken up running to shed a few pounds, and I decided that raising money for charity was just the focus I needed to keep going.

Breast Cancer Care is such a wonderful charity organisation which helped over 1.7 million people last year.  I hope you will dig deep and give generously.  Knowing I have your support will help to keep me going and I know Mag Rat will be happy to know something good has come out of such a horrible disease.

 More recently, my Dad was diagnosed with secondary Liver Cancer - I am keeping up with the training and hoping that in the furture I may be able to make it through a full marathon to raise some money in his honour also.

Cancer is so limited...
It cannot cripple love.
It cannot shatter hope.
It cannot corrode faith.
It cannot eat away peace.
It cannot destroy confidence.
It cannot kill friendship.
It cannot shut out memories.
It cannot silence courage.
It cannot reduce eternal life.
It cannot quench the Spirit.

 Please dig deep and donate now.
