Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Two years ago I was just coming to the end of my chemotherapy treatment after being diagnosed with testicular cancer in Summer 2007. I was on a training run this morning and as usual many things were going through my mind.  I asked myself the question why I am not trying to raise some money for very important research for cancer...so here we are.

You may have seen the leaflets I attached to my email inviting you to visit this website - please pass them on - early detection certainly saved my life!

Many thanks for your support
