Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Those of you who know me well will know I have never done anything like this before. I am unfit and overweight and this will be one hell of a challenge but nothing compares to the challenge faced by families of children fighting cancer day in day out. Losing anyone to cancer is heart breaking :0( I know that only too well - young or old it seems so unfair. I currently have an old school friend whose 12 year old daughter is fighting the 'Big C' - she, and her family remain positive day by day and are truely inspirational. It seems so unfair that such a beautiful young lady should have to face such an uphill struggle when she should be enjoying becoming a teenager and causing her family problems in different teenage ways. Everyone thinks it won't happen to them - but sadly they thought that too. Watching John Bishop do his Sport Relief challenge made me cry - his determination was so inspirational - I know my challenge is nothing like his but boy it will be a CHALLENGE!!!

I will keep you all updated with my training - oooo it's gonna hurt!!!!

I have set a target of £500 which seems alot but I guess is nothing compared to the money actually needed to care for children with cancer and their families. Every penny counts!
