Could I please ask if any forum members would like to help to sponsor my Daughter?
Last year my Wife Sharron was diagnosed with Breast Cancer.
Following an operation on December 12th 2014, 3 weeks of Radiotherapy treatment in March 2015 & follow up scans, she has now been given the all clear.
On September 13th, my Daughter Lorraine will be taking part in the Great North Run half marathon in aid of Cancer Research UK. (57,000 runners this year)!
If anyone would like to help to fight this horrific disease by sponsoring my Daughter any help would be very gratefully received.
Any donations can be made online at:

Dave Robson

I dont know about other members Dave, but I found it pretty difficult to make a payment.

I lost interest once i was directed to open an account
Can't you just put up a paypal address for the funds?

Thanks very much for the donation Roger.
Geordie & Raj;
I've spoken to my Daughter but unfortunately, there is no faster way to donate to her website.
The only other option we can think of would be to send any donations to my PayPal account & I would then transfer it to the Just Giving site.
Do you think that option would help?
So sorry to hear of your Mum Raj.

Hi Graham,
Thank you very much for the donation
After Sharron was diagnosed & until the all clear must have been the worst months of our lives, fortunately, it was caught in the very early stages.
Thanks also from Lorraine.
Best Wishes
Dave

She's Done It!!!
My fantastic Daughter Lorraine completed the Great North Run & I was there to see her cross the finish line.
I'm now officially the Proudest Dad in the World.
