My partner Gill was diagnosed with breast cancer last year and has bravely fought through chemo, surgery and radiotherapy to beat it. However, Gill and people like her cannot do that without the help of the superb NHS and organisations like Cancer Research UK. We are walking to raise money but also to recognise and say thank you to all of the wonderful professional people who have cared for her and have motivated her to succeed against this horrendous disease.

Each year Cancer Research UK’s scientists get closer to beating cancer, and they’ve helped double survival rates in the last 40 years. Every single pound you donate makes a difference to Cancer Research UK’s groundbreaking work, so please sponsor me if you can. The walk is only 10K and I reckon even I can do that!
