Amanda's Cancer Research Giving Page

My Story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page. I’m going to be taking on the Swim 10k in November Challenge to help raise money for Cancer Research UK. 💗 Together, We Can Make a Difference Sadly, cancer touches all of us in some way, shape or form. It doesn’t discriminate, and its impact reaches far beyond the person diagnosed, touching families, friendships and entire communities. For me, this cause is deeply personal. I have lost my mum and several other close family members and friends to cancer. Some of those we have lost were mums, just like me, leaving behind families and loved ones who have to navigate life without them. I also have family members who are living with cancer day in, day out, facing the uncertainty, challenges and reality that a diagnosis brings. Like so many others, I know first-hand how devastating cancer can be. Behind every diagnosis is a person, a family, a story and a future that we desperately want to protect. That is why I am raising money for Cancer Research UK. I want to help fund the research that brings us closer to earlier diagnoses, better treatments and, one day, a future where fewer families have to experience the heartbreak of losing someone they love to this terrible disease. Every single donation, no matter how big or small, can make a difference. If you are able to give, I would be incredibly grateful. Please donate whatever you can afford, and if you are unable to donate, sharing this page would mean so much too. 💗 Gift Aid – please don’t forget! If you are a UK taxpayer and eligible to do so, please tick the Gift Aid box when making your donation. This allows Cancer Research UK to claim an additional 25p for every £1 you donate, increasing your donation by 25% at no extra cost to you. It is such a simple way to make your generosity go even further. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who donates, shares this page or supports this cause in any way. Every contribution brings us one step closer to a world where fewer families have to face the pain of losing someone they love to cancer. For my mum, for the family and friends we have lost, for those still fighting, and for all the mums, dads, children, partners and loved ones who deserve more time together. Let’s help make a difference. Every pound counts. Every donation matters. Every life matters. 💗
