Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I was all set to do the Great North Run last year when I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer. Since then I have had surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. I am now looking forward to life returning to normal. I really want cross the finish line for the 2017 Great North Run. It will be my way of feeling that I have overcome the challenges of the past year. 

I want to raise money for Maggie's as they have supported myself and my family and friends in so many ways over the last year. They give practical and emotional support. Everything from help with travel insurance and looking after my baldy head to helping me through some of my darkest days. While I was staying on the ward in the Freeman Maggie's was one of the places I could escape to for a cup of tea and a friendly chat. They are entirely funded by charity. Please if you can spare a couple of pounds it will go a long way to helping to support those affected by cancer. 

My husband, Andy, who hates running has agreed to join me. I am not sure how I would have got through the last year without his love and care. I am in awe of how he has kept our little family going and managed to work full time. Maggie's offers fantastic support for all carers.  I can't wait until we both cross the finish line together in September. If we get enough money he might even run with my wig on so get donating! 

I am also thrilled that one of my besties- Tracey Ambrose - has also joined Team Maggie. Another person who has shown me so much love and support this year. 

Thank you for your support.
