Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Hi folks, cancer is something that affects so many of us, and unfortunately it came into our home when my wife, Lucy, got diagnosed with thyroid cancer early last year.

This obviously came as a great shock with Lucy being so young, and with 4 young children we just couldn’t help fearing the worse!

Lucy being Lucy just took it in her stride, and after countless hospital appointments, a major operation and some radiotherapy, we were delighted to get the news just before Christmas that Lucy is now cancer free!!

We as a family are so grateful to everyone that got her well, especially the teams at Worcester and Cheltenham, and I feel it’s now time that I give a little bit back.

And so, at the end of July this year I am going to attempt to climb Mont Blanc, in the Alps, which is the highest mountain in Western Europe, at just under 5000 meters above sea level. This is obviously something I am not taking lightly and will require a lot of training, and the fact that I am turning 40 this year offers an extra challenge.

Anything you may be able to donate, no matter how small will be greatly appreciated, and will hopefully get us a tiny step closer to beating this horrible disease once and for all!!
