There is no better reminder of how fickle life is than bringing new life into the world. Suddenly you realise just how precious every moment is and how important family can be.

And this is why, to celebrate my daughter's first birthday, I want to raise money to help beat a terrible disease that claims more lives than any of us could come to comprehend.

I want to irradicate cancer so that my family can be healthy, happy and here for as long as possible. So please if you feel the same way or if you want to give money in memory of someone you have lost. Not only I, but the entire world would greatly appreciate whatever you can afford be it penny or pound, everything helps.
