Story

Thank you for visiting our Race for Life sponsorship page. Please dig deep and sponsor us online – it’s quick, easy and totally secure.

We race for life for our beautiful daughter/mother/sister Rebecca. Rebecca was diagnosed in 2004 just 4 months after the birth of her daughter Charlie.  She spent 5 years receiving various treatments and fighting hard before cancer finally won in July 2009.  She was full of positivity and determination that she would find a way to get past this.  She was always full of sunshine and laughter and we miss her every day.

We race for life so that other people fighting cancer have the chance to survive.  Events like Race for Life are vital in funding Cancer Research UK’s life-saving work into preventing, diagnosing and treating cancer. By sponsoring us now you can help more people survive cancer.

We race for life so that other families won't have to go through this. This year we will be starting the race at Holme Pierrepont with Rebecca's daughter Charlie (now aged 7).  This will be her first race for life. Other than "winning" she is most excited about getting her medal at the end of the race.

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

Every pound you donate really does make a difference – so please sponsor us now!.

Many thanks for your support. Together we WILL beat cancer.
