Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Given the magnitude of this challenge I wanted to commemorate it by supporting the Jane Tomlinson Appeal. 

The Jane Tomlinson Appeal was launched as a lasting legacy to Jane Tomlinson CBE who died from cancer in 2007. Before her untimely death aged just 43, Jane raised £1.8m for children's and cancer charities through a series of incredible endurance feats - despite suffering from terminal cancer. 

The Appeal is currently co-funding ground-breaking research, at the University of Nottingham, into the development of a blood test to detect breast cancer at an earlier stage. The test could help detect cancer YEARS earlier than present - in some cases even before the cancer has developed - helping save the lives of women around the world. The same science could also go on to help people with other forms of cancer too. 

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.
