My personal message:

 Hello, and thank you for visiting my fundraising page!

Please dig deep and sponsor me online, and please spread the word too!  I really want to help make a difference and I can only do it with your help. To those who have already done so, my heartfelt thanks. 

This is my first Race for Life and, as you all know, I'm no athlete!

However, with the approach of the big 4 0 next year, it's about time I thought about getting fit! I have also been getting very reflective and this led me to think about someone I met at Mainholm Academy, Elizabeth McCreadie. While I have gone on to have some great opportunities - going to college, running my own business, getting married to James and having two wonderful children, Alice and Evan - Elizabeth, who sat behind me on my first day at secondary school, was nursed by my Mum and her colleagues until she died at the Ayrshire Hospice, aged 23.

Mum was also around when May Kyle gave birth to her first daughter.  May died in December 2005 but she enjoyed the same wonderful relationship with Ruth and Alexa as I have with my own Mum, Chrystel.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Cancer Research UK will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you. (If you would prefer to sponsor me offline, that is fine too.)

Sincere thanks to all of you who helped me reach my first target of £500and my second one of £1000.  Please keep it coming!! I am really hoping you will be able to help - it doesn't matter how much or how little.  Every penny helps.

Please sponsor me now, and many thanks for your support.

Eleanor

PS If you'd prefer to use the old fashioned cash method, that would be fine too!  Email me - e.mclaughlin@zoom.co.uk - and I'll be in touch.  Thank you!!
