Today is Charity Tuesday and two of my main national charities to support are of course Cancer Research and The Stroke Association both continue to raise awareness and research two of the main killers -though on the positive side we all know you don’t necessarily die from cancer and/or a stroke.

I believe one of the fears of many woman is of course breast cancer though having a stroke is more likely to happen according to some statistics.

My daughter is doing the Race for Life this year, we did it together a few years back in memory of grandmothers both sides of the family.

But please, please  remember the local charities too -in my own village of Redbourn Hertfordshire, the Redbourn Care Group helps improve the lives of those in need within the community providing vital transport for the elderly to hospital visits, day centres, food shopping to name a few.
