Emma's Giving Page

My Story

What do we get Emma for her 50th Birthday?? A gift, a holiday, champagne, no. An Experience! She has been wanting to do this walk for some years, but never got beyond talking about it. Well now is the time, she’s talked the talk, now she has to walk the walk! But true friends as we are, we weren’t going to let her do it alone. So here we are, 3 ladies of a certain age, who enjoy the finer things in life, attempting to walk the London marathon course through the night. We’ve each got our obstacles to overcome, from tight hip flexors (Lucy) to deformed ankles (Sarah) and middle age (Emma). But we have all trained hard, circumnavigating the Kent Coast in sections from Whitstable around to Samphire Hoe (so far, watch this space!) Cancer has affected us all in different ways, and we all understand the importance of continued research. There are still people in our lives today because of the amazing work that Cancer Research does, and we are so thankful for that. All of you will have been touched by cancer in some way. If you have not recently had a reason to give to this life saving charity, then now’s your chance! We would be so grateful for your support. Thank you Each year Cancer Research UK’s scientists get closer to beating cancer, and they’ve helped double survival rates in the last 40 years. But we can’t stop there. Only with our continued support can they turn this research into breakthroughs that save millions of lives. Every single pound you donate makes a difference to Cancer Research UK’s groundbreaking work, so please sponsor me now.
