  1. Astonishing and amazing work,will try my utmost to partake in a sponsored marathon this year! goodluck with research this year

  2. Fantastic work as usual BUT..Not impressed by the phone call I have just had from Cancer research I’m afraid. Regular donator, asked for more money…fair enough I knew that was coming and it has to be done. Told no, on maternity leave and plan to do lots of fundraising this year. Still carried on regardless with various facts to make me feel guilty, asked for a bit less money, again said no, AGAIN ignored and given more facts etc to make me feel guilty. After the 3rd time I unfortunately got annoyed and ended up putting the phone down. After losing a 24year old sibling to this disease I do not them expect to be ignored or made to feel guilty when speaking to the charity I am supporting and have done for several years. A real shame.
