Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

My daughter Hannah and I are running the Race for Life in memory of my dear Dad who died of cancer 6 years ago and my sister in law Nicola Porter (Dix) who died 13th Feb 2000 aged 28 from breast cancer. My friend Angie is currently midway through her treatment as she was diagnosed with breast cancer just before Christmas, she has one Chemo left to go and will be joining us herself next year! My sister Ali, underwent her treatment last year and is now in remission all fingers and toes crossed!
Cancer has touched my family and friends so much in the last decade, that I hope our small effort can make a difference to those still fighting and in memory of those that sadly lost that fight.
I know that I am not alone as recent statistics show that 1 in 8 women will get breast cancer, not to mention the other cancers that affect both women and men, so thank you for any donations you can make, however small, they will make a difference in not only advances in treatment, but hopefully advances in prevention of this dreadful disease.
Watch this space for photos of us before, during and after...
Thanks again
Michelle and Hannah
