So often you hear stories about cancer and the sad reality is that you just simply nod and try to sympathise...Until it happens to you or your near & dear ones and suddenly you DO understand what it means!

Breast cancer runs in my family, sadly some have passed away because of it but luckily over time and with money the research has improved enormously and thanks to cancer research some of my family have received such terrific treatment that they are still with us.

I am walking the Shine Walk (completely out of character believe me!) because of my niece and her future children., who has her whole life still in front of her. I would like her NOT to have to worry about breast cancer.

My aim is to simply get to the finishing line, however long it takes. So please, please, please,make me feel guilty when thinking of giving up the Shine Walk and give me a reason to keep on going by donating whatever you can!!!!!
