Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page

I recently retired from a job where I sat in front of a computer for far too many hours, day after day for more years than I care to remember.  In June 2013, with nothing more in mind than losing weight and improving my fitness, I joined a local health club.  Relaxing one evening flicking through a magazine I came across an advert to join this amazing team of women for a stunning 450km cycle challenge in the Beijing province of China. Although apprehensive about my ability to cope with such a challenging ride it will definitely give me something worthwhile to train for.  I am determined to do my best to raise as much as I can to fight women’s cancers in memory of Mum (Rita Walker) who lost her fight against ovarian cancer in September 2012.  I will pay my own tour costs of approx £1,500 so all sponsorship/donations will benefit the cancer charities.  Details of the Cycle China itinerary can be found at http://www.actionforcharity.co.uk/pdf_online/1145.html

This adventure will be life-changing for me as well as for those who benefit from the incredible work of the three special charities.  We all know someone who has been touched by cancer, so any donation you are able to make will be greatly appreciated.

 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. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.

Many thanks!
