Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
I've decided to embark on completing 15 physical challenges in 2015!!
I am completing these challenges to raise money for the WMUK cancer charity.
The WMUK charity provides support, information and a point of contact for patients, carers, doctors and nurses involved in the treatment of Waldenstrom’s Macroglobulinemia (WM) in the . My partner Colin was diagnosed with this rare cancer back in 2008 and WMUK has been a fantastic source of support, information and is helping drive research and awareness about this disease. Although a rare cancer, around 400 patients are diagnosed each year in the UK It is increasingly treatable but is not yet curable. Every donation helps to extend WMUKs support and research.
The challenge I am setting is to complete 15 physical challenges I have never done before with an increasingly broken body!……the first of these challenges begins Saturday 18th April!!
Challenge 1: Along with my uni loser friends Kate Kirby, Nicola Relph and Sophie James I will be taking on the Yorkshire Ultimate Warrior 18th April 2015 which is 5 tough miles across the Yorkshire countryside with hills, bogs, river walk, underground tunnel fire, ice bath, barbed wire, electric fence, crawling, climbing, log carrying!
