Edinburgh - Hopetoun House 5k 2018

My motivation to take part in this 5K is my beautiful daughter Kirsty who is fighting breast cancer

My Story

My story began on the 30th of November 2017. My world came crashing down when my beautiful daughter of 26 years old was diagnosed with breast cancer. Up until that point we could still believe the worst wasn't happening. My world fell apart but I had to try to be strong & hold it together because all I could think about was being there for her. It tore me apart trying to imagine what she must be going through. I went through every emotion possible, how could this be happening to my baby girl. She has been totally awesome in her fight so far and has taken everything in her stride. After having the lump removed Kirsty is now going through chemotherapy. She continues to amaze me every single day. I love her beyond words and can't wait for the day when's she beats this awful disease. I know to some people a 5K is nothing but to someone who is as unfit as I am it will be quite something. Every step I take will be one of pure love for my amazing daughter who makes me so very proud everyday. I am so honoured to be her Mum. I LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART KIRSTY. YOU ARE MY WORLD XXX Cancer is happening right now, which is why I'm taking part in a Race for Life 5k to raise money and save lives. 1 in 2 people will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime.

Breast cancer

With almost 140 women diagnosed every day, breast cancer is the most common cancer in the UK. And, although rarer, around 350 men are also diagnosed with breast cancer every year. The good news is more than two-thirds of women now survive 20 years or more. Help Cancer Research UK find new ways to diagnose and treat the disease.
