About Me: I love eating, reading books, drinking champagne and having a good laugh with family and friends. I play Netball and now cycle a lot after signing up to Cycle Taiwan for Clatterbridge Cancer Research. I like laughing, love crying laughing and dislike people who think it's a crime to laugh!!

How I know Mark : I met Mark in April 2003 and was lucky enough to share my life with him since the day we met. Mark used to come into the pub where I worked and I used to fancy him like mad! My friend Sharon in the pub told him to ask me out and the rest is history! Mark surprised me every single day and I never knew what was coming next. I am blessed to have been his wife.

Funniest Story: God, There are so many!!! The time we went to a bbq and despite having a row of plant pots right in front of the closed French doors, Mark tried to step over the plants to walk through the doors, right into them!! We were on the other side laughing our heads off and Mark just shrugged and walked back to his mates!!

Or the time we were watching Michael Macintyre on telly and Mark was laughing so hard he threw up on me! He was mortified but we both couldn't stop laughing for about an hour! (I'm smiling just writing about it).

Mark was always the first person in work (we both worked at O2) to have his face painted and would come skipping straight over to me like an excitable puppy to show me, it was so cute and my team (who I was managing) used to think he was mad - and they would be right!

My contribution to MGF: I promised Mark that I would run MGF and push us to achieve what he wanted us to. I am very proud of his vision and I will make sure that we do it justice. Our last conversation, before Mark became too poorly was on our honeymoon and was all about the future of the foundation - he really was so focused on us achieving the goals he set and I will do my very best to make this a success.
