Please forgive the plug



As you may or may not know, I was diagnosed with lymphatic cancer (non-hogkins lymphoma) in 2007 and chemotherapy successfully put me into remission in November 2007.

I will be doing the London Marathon in 2009 (note the ?doing? and not ?running?!) in aid of the Lymphoma Association.


It was a tricky decision to decide who to run for ? do I run for the hospital and Unit that I work in (St George's Hospital), the hospital that treated me (Kings College Hospital) or an associated charity. The Lymphoma Association is the only UK charity specialising in information and support for patients and their families but is relatively small and does not have the funding streams that many other charities have.


I have a sponsorship page and would like to encourage you to have a look.



If anyone is interested I have just started a facebook group

Note the "Run" not "Do" ;-)


Good on yer! I'm a Royal Marsden supporter myself, but they all deserve it for their work.


I hope your training "Do's" have been going well....

Well, one week to go until the big day! Training has been an absolute nightmare as I came off my bike in December. Quarter ton of Thunderbird landed on my calf (as we slid along the road:-S) the muscles of which were crushed No broken bones thankfully but it took a long time to recover as one of the smaller tendons was damaged.


Been doing long runs over the last few weekends but taking a whole week to recover - I think I will get round but it will be a struggle.


I would very much appreciate it if you could sponsor me - please follow the links below

Good luck, will check out your sponsorship page. As for me i was diagnosed with non hogkins lymphoma in december, i am currently in kings having my last course of treatment, i was in over 90% remission by the halfway stage so hopefully looking good for my final scans, will definatly be giving you my support

Just wanted to say a big thanks to everyone for their support. I have managed to raise over ?3000 plus ?650 gift aid for the Lymphoma Association.


Without my supporters including people on here, I would not have acheived such a fantastic amount.


thanks guys!

    • One of the best of Shakespeare 's plays.  I did Othello for A level. Also seen a number of stage and film versions. Is there any specific aspects of the play that is difficult for your daughter to understand?  
    • @Sue think this is your quote.  It wasn't binary, good Vs bad, and Corbyn had a lot of popular support, as evidenced by the previous election. He had aot of good policies, some picked up by others since. He was defeated by a mixture of a right wing press,good targeting the Johnson 'Get Brexit Done" and for some that Johnson was a funny loveable rogue/fool/liar/philander/opportunist.  I wouldn't see choosing the perceived least worst candidate out of the two major parties as being "good sense'.  We imagine that Corbyn would have been terrible, but we don't know.  He would have taken a stronger line against Israel in Gaza, not sucked up to Trump nut on Russia?  Would the UK be better for that?
    • We have had 4 greyhounds - the last one, a bitch, was not speyed so we  had to pay for that at our local vet.  Only one dog was nervous around children and only one was cat friendly.
    • Apologies on the tardy reply, but thank you everyone for your responses and suggestions! Unfortunately I couldn't attend the recent EDF drinks because of work (I know right). But will absolutely keep eyes peeled for the next one and try and come down!
