I'm taking on 100 miles in March for Young Lives vs Cancer.
I’m taking on 100 Miles this March for Young Lives vs Cancer.
I’ll be completing 100 miles between 1st and 31st March to help raise vital funds for children and young people with cancer.
Young Lives vs Cancer help families find the strength to face whatever cancer throws at them. But every day 12 more children and young people hear the devastating news they have cancer. Make a donation and show your support today.
Just a £26 donation could fund an hour of support from a Young Lives vs Cancer specialist social worker ensuring children, young people and families always have someone by their side throughout their cancer journey.Thank you for your support.

Saturday 28th Mar Just back from the pool 🏊 done another 20 laps, going to stick at 20 each time n build maself up, can definitely feel my arms getting bit stronger as am pushing the water away more. Trying in between each lap to do 10 leg stretches with my left leg n the reason am doing this is just maybe strengthen the muscles in bottom of my back as the minute a put any pressure on ma back just simple thing like standing up even though am holding onto something the bottom of ma back just is pure agony, start shaking, this is because for all the years av needed ma wheelchair/mobility scooter ma mucles in ma back are gone, not been using them so they no longer support me or something like that Dr can explain it better than me lol a just ken that it’s so painful even just to transfer from ma mobility scooter to seat in ma van, n If a have to hold on n walk a few steps pain is immence so am hoping through time it gets a bit easier, anyway thank you all for you support, comments or even for sharing my page it really means so much to me, so av only lol 😂 got 2916 laps to do, have a great day n al catch yeh all tomorrow ShareSwim Challenge
