Time for another update in regards to how much I’ve raised so far for Target Ovarian Cancer. I’ve now got £715 which is incredible, that’s 71% of my target which is £1,000. Thanks to each and everyone who has donated so far, including the last three very generous donations I’ve just had from Colin White, Angie Cooke & Jenny Wood. It goes without saying how important this money is to help women with this horrendous illness. This time in two weeks I’ll be about a quarter of a way through my three peak challenge. If you can help out in any way at all then please do so here https://www.justgiving.com/page/sean-crossey-1679950912806?utm_source=copyLink&utm_medium=one_page&utm_content=page/sean-crossey-1679950912806&utm_campaign=pfp-share&utm_term=0389345a05c1454f9c831e46ba2de5d3
