Story

That photo up there is of my mum, Helen, who sadly passed away in 2009 at 52 after battling cancer. She was an amazing woman and a real inspiration. 

I'm currently trying to get myself fit and lose weight, and there's no better way to do that than to give myself a goal. So I plan to complete the Race for Life, so that I can help other people while I help myself. 

Cancer took my mum from me and I want to be a part of the fight to stop it doing the same to other people.

Thanks for visiting my Race for Life page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online - it's quick, easy and totally secure.

Events like Race for Life are vital in funding Cancer Research UK's life-saving work into preventing, diagnosing and treating cancer. By sponsoring me, we can unite and create a force that cancer can't ignore.

Gift Aid it!

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

Sponsor me now, and we can become cancer's worst nightmare.

One day we will beat cancer. Help us make it sooner.
