My Story
Cancer is happening right now. That is why I'm taking part in a Race for Life Hike to raise money and save lives. 1 in 2 people will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime. Every single pound you donate makes a difference to Cancer Research UK’s ground breaking work, so please sponsor me now. Donating through this page is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with Cancer Research UK. On 23rd of December my mother-in-law, Caroline, visited us in the late evening and broke the news to us that she was diagnosed with blood cancer. She is in remission and we hope in couple of months we will be given positive news that she won. She is a fighter and she is passionate about walking. We used to walk in Sussex together when we could in our free time after work. She still walks when she can. She is celebrating her 69th birthday with all her family at the end of August. She wishes her grandchildren blow her candles together. She promised 69 of them! Caroline is a mother to Paolo and Roberto. She is a grandmother to her grandchildren, Max, Davide and Alex. She worked at the airport all her life and loved her job. No wonder both her children work there too at present. She was great colleague to many people and friend to few. She misses the airport, the thrill of travel and the atmosphere. Caroline likes people and she is a people person. Please help me raise money for this cause. Cancer is potentially in the body of everyone. Every pound you give will go to those who need to be taken care of. Thank you from the bottom of our heart. Alena, with her partner Roberto and their son Davide.
