Shine London 2018 - Full Marathon
Sat 22 Sep 2018
Cancer is a fear that will never go away for me, 60 months with no evidence of disease.
I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer in 2013. I have had 2 major surgeries and continue to take medication to try to suppress the hormones that fed my cancer. Without Cancer Research I would not be alive today. I haven't been courageous or brave, I have been lucky, I found the lump and was diagnosed quickly and had and continue to have excellent care from the NHS. I have registered to do the SHINE walk which is a 26.2 mile walk over night around London. My daughter, Charlotte and her friends Chloe, Alice Lucy and Amber are doing it with me. I am training, at a much slower pace than the girls, and I am determined to try to achieve this marathon walk and raise money for Cancer research. Cancer had not only effected me but also members of my family and friends. I am doing this walk in memory of all of them but especially my Nana James, my 'aunty' Anna, Robert and my mother in law Eileen xxx
CAUSE
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.
