Hi everyone!! Thanks for visiting this page.
My friends and I are completing the 'tough mudder' challenge in October for the charity Myeloma UK. Myeloma is an incurable cancer of the bone marrow. It attacks the bones, destroys the immune system and keeps returning following treatment.
My Dad has multiple Myeloma and was diagnosed at 49. He has been well for 7 years until the beginning of June when we were told it had returned. So now at the young age of 56, he is gearing up for battle yet again. Luckily, My Dad is one of the 40% of people who has survived over 5 years and i want many, many more years with my Dad.
Thats where you lot come in. Im hoping to raise as much money as possible for Myeloma UK, to assist in research and treatment of this relentless disease. There are already new drugs available that weren't around 7 years which assures me, the money is going to a brilliant cause.
Tough mudder is a 13 mile obstacle course and run. Youtube it, its grim. I cant swim, im petrified of heights and also claustrophic so its gonna be a great day out. Even if you dont feel the charity is particularly close to your heart, you can donate money, safe in the knowledge that i will be swimming (drowning) in a pool of ice water in the middle of October : )
Please donate as much as you are able. I want to help prevent as many people and families as possible from going through what my family are enduring presently.
Keep checking back for regular updates...ill start 'training' soon (walking to AND from the Co-op) and im sure you'll all be interested to know how thats goes. Thanks you so much,
Much love, Lisa and posse.
