hi to all my friends and family, most of you will know my little story and others may not! ive crazily signed up to do the great north run in october (which oh yes.....is a half marathon!) to try and raise money for the christie hospital in manchester.

This charity is very special to me following my diagnosis of ovarian cancer last october. Im now coming to the end of 8 months of gruelling surgery and treatment and looking forward to getting back to work and living a normal life (and starting training for a half marathon!) I can honestly say that the doctors and nurses at the christie have saved my life!

 I will never be able to repay what they have done for me but id love to raise money so that they can carry on making the difference to peoples lives like they have done to mine. Every penny counts so please give what you can. I know its a few months away but i'd love to meet my target! also thankyou to everyone who has been there and supported me through the last 8 months, xxx!
