Story

5 months ago, after a 4 year battle with ovarian cancer I lost my Mother in Law - Jo Forsdyke or Nanny Jo Jo as she was better known since the arrival of my babies.  Jo was a text book mother in law, always making every occasion special and showing me the way to being a good mummy.    I miss her every day and she was a true inspiration, even through her darkest hours of coping with the treatment she continued to smile. Her words... "I don't like the feeling of being sad, so I'm not going to be..."will stay with me forever.  

I know technological breakthroughs and medical advancements against cancer happen daily,  as my mum is thankfully a survivor of breast cancer.  Therefore we need to continue to fund the research and trials in the hope of reducing the harsh cancer statistics.

As you know I love my sleep so my first challenge will be staying awake, the second will be keep my legs going for 100 km and not getting run over!!

If you can take the time to sponsor me, I will be eternally grateful.

Thank you.
