My Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my fundraising page! My mum suffered from breast cancer when I was a 6 years old kid. She was courageous enough to defeat the disease, see me growing up and help me be the woman I'm today. As a scientist, I'm working on the development of a new generation of chemotherapies, which are more effective but less aggressive than the current ones. This project is called THERACAT and is part of the EU Marie Sklosowska-Curie Actions, with whom Cancer Research UK collaborates. Contributing to the development of improved cancer therapies with my professional and technical expertise is important; however, it is equally important to contribute to this objective from a social perspective, encouraging everybody to be part of it. I love running during my free time and doing these 10K is an alternative way to further support cancer research.
CAUSE
All Cancer Types
Cancer is complex. There are over 200 types of cancer, most of which have different biology and behaviour. With your support, our dedicated researchers can continue to discover better ways to prevent, detect and treat this disease, and bring about a world where everybody lives longer, better lives, free from the fear of cancer.
