Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my just giving page. 

Women Vs Cancer supports 3 leading cancer charities for women; Ovarian Cancer Action, Breast Cancer Action and Jo’s Cervical Trust. I am a nurse working in the NHS and have seen first hand the devastating affects that cancer can cause and so I feel that whilst I am lucky enough to have my health, I actually need  to make the most of my body and use it to try and make a difference. I feel inspired by the women who have lost their lives, those who are still continuing to fight for their lives and feel it’s a small sacrifice on my part to donate the use of my legs to a good cause which will have a two-fold effect...raising money for this vital and much needed cause which drastically needs funds to help research and deliver life saving treatments. 

 As we all know, cancer is indiscriminate and can strike anyone of us at anytime, treatments can be brutal and rob people of their strength and precious time spent with loved ones.  We only have this one wild and precious life, so I am training for this event with grit and determination to give something that will help towards new regimes and  research for all the women we know: our daughters, our mothers and grandmothers, our grandchildren and all those who have come before us…and those to come after us…we see you, we salute you…this is for all of you! ...please give generously if you can...my love and thanks to you always 💖
