Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page - I am raising monry for Macmillan Cancer Support. Unfortunately I have known several people affected by Cancer an I really want to do what I can to support the fantastic work that Macmillan do. With that in mind.......
I am running the Plymouth Half Marathon in 27 April 2014. I am the wrong side of 15 stone. It will hurt. A lot.
In preparation I will be running a lot, and also doing the below events.
I am doing Dryathlon - I like a Cider so this will be tough...
I am also going to do a 10K in advance of the Half Marathon - yet to be decided...
I am also cycling the Chilterns Cycle Challenge on 23 March 2014 - I cycled this last year and it was horrible, the hills are savage.
Please donate what you can for any or all of these activities, its a great cause and Macmillan do fantastic work.
One in three of us will get cancer and it’s the toughest thing most of us will ever face. If you’ve been diagnosed with cancer, or a loved one has, you’ll want a team of people in your corner supporting you every step of the way.
Macmillan Cancer Support provide practical, medical and financial support and push for better cancer care.
The number of people with cancer is growing every day. We want to reach and improve the lives of every one of those people.
Macmillan Cancer Support improves the lives of people affected by cancer. One in three of us will get cancer. We are all affected by cancer. We can all help. We are Macmillan.
Macmillan are a source of support, helping with all the things that people affected by cancer want and need. It's not only patients who live with cancer, we also help carers, families and communities. We guide people through the system, supporting them every step of the way. We fund nurses and other specialist health care professionals and build cancer care centres. But we give so much more than medical help.
People need practical support at home, so we provide anything from some precious time off for a carer, to a lift to hospital. People need emotional support, so we listen, advise and share information through our cancer support specialists, website and trained professionals. People need financial help to cope with the extra costs cancer can bring, so we give benefits advice, and grants for anything from heating bills to travel costs. Together we listen, we learn, we act to help people live with cancer.
