It is a sad fact that UK women hold a 1 in 9 lifetime risk of being diagnosed with breast cancer, and despite advancements in multi-disciplinary knowledge, it is still the most common cancer in the UK.

I know there are many charities out there boosting awareness and fundraising for cancer causes, but the Walk the Walk charity is particularly special in the way it spreads its charitable grants to not only fund valuable research but to also help patients currently suffering with this cruel disease.

I would like to raise money for Walk the Walk and I'm going to do this by walking the walk! The 'walk' being a power walking marathon (26.2 miles) around London on May16th - oh, and did I mention that it starts at midnight and walkers wear only a bra on the top half?! (Suddenly a spectator sport) ;-) I would really appreciate your kind sponsorship.

I intend on completing the marathon in 6 to 6.5 hours, so if you think I will just be going for a midnight stroll you are wrong! Please, please support me, so that when I hit the wall at 3am because my hips are swearing at me to go to bed I can keep going knowing that you are backing me, and together we can raise some much needed money towards a fabulous charity.

Thank you - every penny counts and your support is really appreciated.
