My Story
I’m taking part in Cancer Research UK’s October Plank Challenge and hoping to raise £150. If you can sponsor me, I’d be very grateful. Five years ago this September I had surgery for cancer. Five years on, I’m still here, active and enjoying life — and that feels worth celebrating. So this October I'm taking on Cancer Research UK's Plank Every Day challenge to raise money for cancer research. I'll be planking every day throughout October, starting at one minute and gradually working my way up to four minutes by the end of the month. I'm doing it partly to raise money for a cause that means a great deal to me, but also to mark a personal milestone: five years on from my operation, life continues — and I'm very grateful that it does. If you'd like to sponsor me, thank you. Every donation, however small, will help Cancer Research UK continue its work.
