Story

I am hurtling towards my 50th birthday in 2024….I feel so blessed to celebrate each and every birthday I get, as I see so many people in my working life who sadly don’t get this opportunity. 

I’ve been working for Marie Curie for over 20 years, and over the course of my career I have so far helped raise £56,989 for Marie Curie. I’d like to use the next 515 days until my birthday to undertake 50 challenges to celebrate my ‘50 laps round the sun’, and to try and raise as much money as possible so that Marie Curie can support more people to get the care they need at the end of life.

I’ll be posting here with regular updates on my endeavours, and if you’d like to suggest a challenge, please let me know. I’ve thought of a few already….😉

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. If you’d like to sponsor me or donate, I’d be hugely grateful…no donation is too small, every little penny really makes a difference.
