Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I have set a myself a challange this year, I'm planning to complete the Llanelli and Cardiff half marathons.  I'm not doing it for fun and because I'm crazy but because I want to raise money for Velindre cancer centre. And this is why...

After putting up an incredible fight, a very close friend of mine passed away last October, some of you knew her, some of you didn't, but no one should be taken in their early 30's, when the whole world is your oyster.  I miss her terribly and not a day goes by when I don't think about her.

She had her treatment at Velindre cancer centre in Cardiff and they looked after her amazingly well.  When I visited her there, I was always struck by how friendly the staff are, how helpful and comforting they were for my friend and her family. 

So yes, I'm asking you guys for sponsorship money, whether you can donate right away or when you can afford it.  Whether you want to donate lots of dosh or just 50p, it will ALL go towards helping fund research into cancer treatments, outstanding care for those undergoing treatment and who knows, maybe it will go a little way to finding a cure for a disease that is indiscriminate in who it chooses.

I've not left myself that much time as Llanelli is only 5 weeks away, but I'm looking forward to a long summer of training as Bristol is on 21st September and Cardiff is on 5th October. 

I'll keep this page updated with all my progress.  Thankyou for your donations, this is a real challange I've set myself but it is nothing compared to the challange that people affecting by cancer face every day.
