My motivation is my family.
My Story
One in eight women in the UK will develop breast cancer at some point in their lifetime. Unfortunately this is something that my family has been affected by in the last 3 years, not once but twice. Two of my Aunts were diagnosed with breast cancer. First my Aunt Sue in 2014, then my Aunt Marie in 2015. Like the strong women they are, they have beat and overcome this horrible disease. It was a tough journey, but seeing both of them overcome it through the treatments and the on-going surgeries they truly are amazing women. Also my Grandmother Winneth Sharpe-Deans who unfortunately I never got the chance to meet, as she was sadly taken from us because of this disease - I'm doing this in memory of her & also in honour of both my Aunts!. I'm hoping you can find it in your hearts to donate so I can reach my goal for Cancer Research, as raising awareness is so important. Cancer is happening right now, which is why I'm taking part in Race for Life Pretty Muddy to raise money and save lives.
