5 years and "Cancer Free"
Welcome and thank you for visiting this site
12Th January 2011 marked a special date, 5 years since my treatment for cancer finished and by my consultants reconing that meant I was "Cancer Free"
Whilst I was in hospital set my self two very ambitious targets, to raise £25,000 for Cancer Research UK for research into cancer to help others with cancer in the future and to raise £5,000 for St Kentigerns Hospice which helped me though some of my most difficult times.
I am pleased that so far though a sponsored Trek in Peru in 2007 I have raised £12,000 for Cancer Research UK and in 2009, though a sponsored Skydive I have achieved my £5,000 hospice target.
Sky Dive 2009
I would like to thank everyone who has helped me with this, especially my family who without their support this would not have been possible.
So now I am off again, this time to Everest base camp in November 2011, probably my toughest challenge to date, again the trek will be funded though personal contributions so all money raised will go directly to Cancer Research UK.
Please if you could be so kind enough to sponsor whatever you can to help me reach my £25,000 target, without the work Cancer Research UK does by developing new treatments people such as myself would not be here today.
We have lots of charity Events planned take a look and please if you can help or join in on an event.
If you could pass this site onto friends, family and work colleagues it would be much appreciated.
