50k for 50 years
I'm challenging myself to have new experiences, learn new skills and to raise money all before 50!
The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity
Raise £50K for charity
My aim is to raise £50k by the 11th April 2021 through various fundraising events. I'd like this to all go to The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity who have helped me a lot personally in the past.
Running the London Marathon in 2000
Run a 50K race
This will be one of my main fundraising events, which I will compete in at some time during 2020.
Visiting Taormina
Lose 50lbs
Forever grateful for my second chance, I need to kick this weight gain once and for all. For health reasons rather than vanity!
Making some cakes
Learn new skills
Leaving school at 16 with very few professional qualifications is one of my biggest regrets. From touch typing to learning a new language, this is something I would like to do with the help of my friends and family who already have these skills.

Cook new dishes
After years of cooking just to get something on the table for the family, my passion for cooking new meals is starting to grow - especially fish dishes and desserts. This is something I used to avoid, so it will be a great addition to the challenge!
