Story

Thanks for visiting my Race for Life page. As some of you know my Dad was diagnosed with Tonsillar cancer in January this year.  Since then he has had some teeth removed, an operation on his neck and then 6 weeks of radiotherapy and chemotherapy. He completed the treatment at the beginning of May which left him unable to eat normally and extremely difficult to swallow. He was given a feeding tube and was told he may need it for the rest of his life.  However on the 17th of June he felt ready to have the feeding tube removed and began to eat normally.  On the 2nd of July he went for his review with the consultant to be told the amazing news that the cancer had gone and he is now in remission. 

On Sunday 6th July I will be running the race for life in honour of my amazing Dad.

I'm not a runner and I hate exercise but have chosen to do the race for life in order to raise money for this charity and hopefully one day we will find a cure. 

Please dig deep and sponsor me online, it doesn't matter how small the donation is, every little helps - it's quick, easy and totally secure.

Events like Race for Life are vital in funding Cancer Research UK's life-saving work into preventing, diagnosing and treating cancer. By sponsoring me, we can unite and create a force that cancer can't ignore.

Gift Aid it!

If you're a UK taxpayer, please remember to tick the Gift Aid box as this will increase your donation by at least 25% at no cost to you.

Sponsor me now, and we can become cancer's worst nightmare.

One day we will beat cancer. Help us make it sooner.
