My Story

Hello I am Colin, I am 95 years old. I live at Gracewell of Sway where I live a very happy and fulfilled life with my furry friend Rusty, Staff and Residents I call my second family. I enjoy walking Rusty around the lovely grounds of the home and this made me think…. I have seen how charities have been hit hard by the Covid 19 pandemic and having bowel cancer in 2010, I was monitored for 5 years and then got the wonderful news that I was cancer free. I have seen how Cancer has touched so many people in my life and I want to give back and help raise donations to Cancer Research UK, to save more lives like my own. I am pledging to carry out a reindeer dash with my beloved reindeer dog Rusty, I will be putting on my Santa suit and completing 50 laps in my Home at Gracewell of Sway. I will be completing 15,880 steps. I will starting my dash on 12th December the Birthday of my late wife Jean who I loved very dearly. I will finish my dash on 18h December. So please any donation to find more research to help more survivors like myself will be greatly received. HO HO! With Love, Santa Colin and Rusty the Reindeer. Thanks for taking the time to visit my fundraising page. Cancer is happening right now, which is why I’m fundraising right now for Cancer Research UK. There’s no time to lose! Donate to my page today and help bring forward the day when all cancers are cured.

CAUSE

Bowel cancer

Over the past 40 years there's been dramatic progress in tackling bowel cancer and half of people diagnosed will now survive for at least 10 years. But with bowel cancer still claiming around 43 lives each day, more research still needs to be done. Help Cancer Research UK find new ways to prevent, diagnose and treat the disease.
