I will be taking on this challenge to raise money for The Elizabeth Coteman Fund.

The Elizabeth Coteman Fund (held by the Charity, Cambridgeshire Community Foundation) was set up by the Coteman family in memory of Elizabeth Coteman, who died from Pancreatic Cancer on 22 April 2010 at the age of 59.

The money raised will go to The Elizabeth Coteman Fund who will donate grants directly to sufferers, their families and carers.
