Fund raising for Maggie's

Hello

2013 was a very challenging year for me, as I was diagnosed and treated for stage three bowel cancer.

Throughout my journey I received remarkable medical care (from the Victoria Infirmary and the Beatson), on-going attention and support from a number of people, including the staff at Maggie's cancer support centre.

In an effort to turn what was a huge negative into a positive, I now carry out a voluntary support and fundraising roll at Maggie's and as part of this I will be running the Great Women's 10k in Glasgow on the 5th of June this year. I have eight girls (including my daughter and sister) in my running team and I was wondering if the Extra would be interested in writing a story with a view to highlighting the fantastic work carried out by Maggie's and to maybe help boost my fund raising.

You can read more about this story on my Just Giving page, link below, and if you would like to discuss this further, please do not hesitate to call me on 07816 277965 or email on [email protected]

As you can see on my page, I have, so far, raised over £2,800 with over four weeks to go, so I would be delighted to have the opportunity to publish my story in an attempt to raise even more for Maggie's.

With much thanks.
