The reasons for taking on this challenge are two fold.

First, to repay the expert help I was given during my stay in hospital when I had my heart attack, and the on going support I have received from the Heart ReHab centre in Alton, (thanks Jo and Sandra for helping me through).

Secondly, it’s for my close friends, Pamela, Farah, Donna, Kerry and the late Jill - who sadly lost her fight against Breast Cancer four years ago - and the many women I have met who have been affected in some way by Breast Cancer.

The money I raise will be shared between these two charitable organisations.
