Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I will do 'almost' anything to help raise money for the MPD charity.  This is a charity that one of my dearest friends Rachel Bridgman is actively supporting. 

MPDs are rare blood cancers that can cause debilitating fatigue, blood clots, stroke, heart attack, recurrent miscarriage and increase in risk of leukaemia or bone marrow failure. Rachel is keen to find a cure in order to lead a near normal existence - with her 3 wonderful children and charming husband Paul.
