10 years ago I lost my great grandad, who I was really close to, to prostate cancer then last year I lost a very close family friend to bowel cancer which is what my money raised is going towards in the hope that they can find a cure and so that other people don’t have to go through what I’ve been through. Also 5 years ago my nan got diagnosed with breast cancer and fortunately she was one of the lucky survivors so me, my mum and my nan have decided to take part in the shine walk to celebrate my nan surviving and in memory of loved people who we sadly lost.
