It’s
my big six-0 this year and despite being in a state of shock I have vowed to do
something positive about it!
I
have signed up for a very special and powerful event – it’s called the Susan G.
Komen 3-Day™ - and takes place in the States each year.
It’s
in November and it is a 60-mile journey over 3 days to raise money for research
into breast cancer.
And
instead of birthday presents I would like donations to this amazing charity
which raises millions of pounds each year to help in the fight against breast
cancer.
This
is the second time I have taken part. In
2005 I walked the 60 miles and raised a lot of money for cancer research.
This
time I intend to raise EVEN more!
Breast
cancer is part of my family history.
Like so many people I have been affected by breast cancer hitting those
closest. My dear mum Helen and four of
my aunts are all breast cancer survivors.
They are the lucky ones.
Every
74 seconds, somewhere in the world, someone dies from breast cancer.
Hopefully
that figure alone will make you reach into your pockets. I’m hoping to raise £2,500 in donations. I need your help to reach my goal.
If
you would like to make a donation (tax-deductable!) then please follow this
